September is Su***de Prevention and Awareness Month. So let’s talk about something that doesn’t get talked about enough: bereaved siblings are twice as likely to attempt su***de.
Losing a sibling can bring a kind of grief that is difficult to put into words and even harder to navigate.
If you know someone who has lost a sibling, check in on them. Not just in the days and weeks after their loss, but months and years later too. Grief doesn’t have an expiration date, and neither should our support.
Ask how they’re doing. Listen without trying to fix it. Keep showing up. You never know when someone might need to hear that they aren’t alone. ❤️
If you’re struggling with suicidal thoughts, you’re not alone. Please reach out for support. In Canada, call or text 9-8-8 anytime, 24/7, for free and confidential su***de crisis support.
