The loss of a person to suicide touches friends, family, and other loved ones who must grapple with a host of emotions in the wake of tragic loss. The pain of suicide bereavement can ripple through personal relationships and affect the emotional health of the community of the individual who was lost. Levi-Belz and colleagues reviewed studies showing that every suicide affects an average of five family members and up to 135 community members. Understanding the impact on those left in the wake of suicide highlights the importance for all behavioral health professionals to develop sound policies and procedures to care for individuals who are at risk for suicide.
