Losing a father to suicide presents unique grief challenges related to this foundational relationship, whether you lost your dad as a child, adult, or somewhere in between. The loss of paternal guidance, protection, support, and presence creates a permanent absence felt during major life milestones, difficult times when you need advice, or ordinary moments when you simply miss your dad. Father loss through suicide also carries questions about what he was experiencing, guilt about not being able to help him, and the complex task of honoring who he was beyond how he died.
