Choosing words like “died by suicide” might feel like a small change - but it can make a big difference. For those bereaved by suicide, it removes stigma and makes it easier to have open conversations about grief. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #StopSayingTheCWord

#WorldSuicidePreventionDay is just around the corner and this year’s theme is changing the narrative around suicide. That’s why at SoBS we’re focusing on language this week, and how small changes in the words we use can help shift the conversation 💬 💜

Anxiety after a bereavement by suicide can feel constant, confusing, and exhausting. You might not always understand why it’s there, and that's okay too. These feelings are a natural response to a sudden bereavement, and you don’t have to face them alone 💜
