Support After Suicide

Real Stories

SASH is a platform for LGBTQIA+ people to listen to the stories of others living with loss from suicide. Grief can sometimes feel isolating; what it looks like and what we need can be unique to us as individuals. Listening to the stories of others can ease stigma, create connection and a sense of belonging. Though some of our experiences may differ, we are not alone in our grief.
