Tag: conflicted emotions

Experiencing contradictory feelings simultaneously is one of the most confusing aspects of suicide grief, where you might love and miss someone desperately while also feeling angry, abandoned, hurt, or even relieved. These conflicted emotions create internal turmoil as you struggle to reconcile loving someone with feeling betrayed by their choice to die, understanding their pain while feeling hurt they didn’t seek help, or missing them while being angry they left. Learning that these opposing emotions can coexist without canceling each other out helps survivors accept the full complexity of their grief without judgment.
