Tag: discussing suicide

Breaking the silence around suicide by openly discussing your loss, sharing your story when you’re ready, and speaking truthfully about suicide death rather than hiding behind euphemisms helps combat stigma and creates space for authentic conversation. Discussing suicide doesn’t mean sharing every detail or reliving trauma, but rather refusing to participate in shame-based silence that treats suicide as a taboo topic. Finding your voice, choosing when and with whom to share, and being honest about cause of death (when appropriate) honors your loved one and contributes to broader cultural change around mental health and suicide.
