Deciding when, how, and with whom to share information about your suicide loss involves complex choices about disclosure that impact relationships, work situations, and daily interactions. You must determine whether to use the word “suicide” or euphemisms, how much detail to provide, who deserves to know versus who you’d prefer not tell, and how to protect yourself from intrusive questions while also being honest about your experience. Sharing on your own terms, preparing responses for common questions, and trusting your instincts about disclosure helps you maintain control over your narrative in a situation where so much feels out of control.
