In Hull and East Riding there are local support groups designed to support those that have lost a loved one to suicide. As two of our trustees have found through their own grief through loss to suicide is that at the beginning the most helpful thing to do is talk to like minded people and that’s why Mysterious Minds’ messages are always open and Chelsey and Dawn are always there to talk to those grieving a loved one.
There is also Compassionate Friends – an online support group who also send out a lot of literature to the bereaved.
There are also Facebook groups alongside our own Mysterious Minds Facebook page such as:
Suicide Bereavement Support UK
