Suicide prevention work takes on profound personal meaning for many survivors who channel grief into protecting others from similar tragedy through education about warning signs, advocacy for mental health funding and services, training in suicide intervention, fundraising for prevention organizations, and sharing stories that reduce stigma and encourage help-seeking. While prevention efforts can’t undo your loss, they honor your loved one’s memory while potentially saving other lives. Understanding prevention isn’t about survivor guilt over not preventing your loved one’s death but rather about using hard-won knowledge to support others who may be at risk.
