Free Resources<\/h1>\n

There is free information and support out there.
\n
\nIt may be hard to ask for support when there is so much judgement, silence, misunderstanding and stigma around suicide.
\n
\nKnow you deserve all the support you need – when you need it.
\n
\nHere are some of my favourites.<\/span><\/p>\n

Books<\/h2>\n

Books can help us develop a relationship with suicide – a relationship none of us want to develop but one we must do now in order to move on.
\nThey aren’t always easy to read and it may feel you are “indulging in your grief” but know this is your critical mind planting negative seeds that aren’t true. If you feel books will help, dip in and out as you feel drawn.
\nSurvivors of Bereavement Through Suicide has put together an awesome list of books.<\/span><\/p>\n
