Survivors of suicide loss gather at hundreds of simultaneous healing conferences around the world every year on International Survivors of Suicide Day to connect with others who have survived the tragedy of suicide loss, and express and understand the powerful emotions they experience.

Survivors address the questions that so many newly bereaved survivors face: Why did this happen? How do I cope? Where can I find support? Experts on suicide share information on what we currently know about suicide and grief.
