The Suicide Loss Support group meets monthly in Spring Hill, Tennesse. We welcome adults who have lost framily members or friends to suicide. Meetings are lead by trained volunteers; we do not provide counseling or therapy.
We are all fellow survivors, reluctant travelers who have lost someone we care about to suicide. We are not professionals or experts.
Some of us who attend may have begun this journey very recently. Our pain may be so raw, so intense, that we can hardly breathe. We may not know what we need, but we understand that connecting with others may hold a key to our survival.
Others may have experienced their suicide loss years ago. We appreciate the value of reaching out, sharing what has worked for us, and we offer an empathetic ear and understanding that you may not find elsewhere.
The GRief After Suicide Support (GRASS) group first met on Dec. 1, 2005 and has met continuously since then.
