What No One Tells You About Suicide Grief
The pain after suicide hits differently—not just because they’re gone… but because the questions never stop. It’s not just sorrow—it’s self-blame, confusion, guilt.
I’m Philip. I help people navigate grief and live with purpose after loss. If that’s you—or someone you love—hit follow.
When someone dies by suicide, the grief is different. Not harder. Not worse. Just… different.
Because now you're not only grieving that they’re gone—you’re stuck wrestling with why.
What could I have done?
Why didn’t I see it?
Was it something I said?
Could I have stopped it?
These questions don’t just whisper—they scream. And the truth? Most of them don’t have answers.
I’ve talked to so many parents, partners, siblings—who are carrying the weight of a loved one’s suicide and They feel shame. Judgment. Silence. like no one gets it.
But hear this:
You are never responsible for someone else’s decision to end their life.
You didn’t cause it.
And healing doesn’t come from finding answers—it comes from letting yourself feel the questions without letting them define you.
If someone you love died by suicide—lmk in the comments
Or say their name.
We don’t do silence here. We remember out loud.
