The act of crafting and sharing narrative about your loss, your loved one’s life, and your grief journey serves multiple healing purposes including making sense of chaotic experience, connecting with other survivors, honoring memory, finding your voice, and breaking silence around suicide. Storytelling might happen in support groups, through writing, in therapy, via creative expression, or in conversations with trusted others. Your story evolves over time as your perspective and understanding shift. How you tell it, what you emphasize, and what meaning you make are entirely yours to determine, and sharing story remains always optional based on readiness and audience.
