💙 Grief and happiness can exist together.

Ten years after losing her husband to su***de, Shikha Sadhar reflects on how her relationship with grief has changed— from simply surviving each day to allowing herself to experience joy while still carrying the love and loss that remain.

In SAMHIN’s latest blog, “My Grief and Happiness – Eternal Companions,” Shikha shares her family’s journey through loss, healing, and growth, reminding us that finding happiness does not mean leaving grief or the person we lost behind.

As Su***de Prevention Awareness Month comes to a close, we hope stories like Shikha’s can help create space for more open conversations about su***de loss and grief within the South Asian community.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. 💛

In communities where conversations about mental health can carry stigma, someone who is struggling may not always know how—or feel able—to say it directly.

Checking in matters. Listening without judgment matters. Asking directly about su***de matters.

Today, we encourage you to reach out to someone in your life and ask how they’re really doing.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline in the U.S.
