"People take their lives usually as a result of complex factors and there is rarely any one cause. Any kind of death is difficult."

"A suicide death is sudden and really tough to handle. It leaves people with lots of questions that are difficult and often impossible to answer. It can leave people with great frustrations and many "if only" feelings. A death by suicide will have a big impact on close family/whanau and friends, but also others who knew the person less well.'

"Everyone grieves differently"...feeling and expressing your emotions and thoughts is an important part of facing and making sense of your loss"

"After any suicide there are many questions...the sorts of questions people want answered are often painful and upsetting"

Who to talk to after a suicide:

"Make your own list of people you could talk to... Some people like to get information from books... Sometimes people prefer someone they don't know like a counselor or a doctor.'
