For Suicide Survivors
Suicide Seminar 2010
Home » For Survivors » For Suicide Survivors

I hope we can all join together to better understand the mystery of suicide and offer support to those left behind.” – Kim Ruocco, TAPS Spouse

In the aftermath of a death by suicide, there may be confusion and questions circling in your mind. What if? Why? What could I have done? These are questions often asked by people who experience the death of a loved one, but they take on expanded meaning to people facing grief when their loved ones have died by suicide. You are not alone. TAPS is here to walk alongside you and offer comfort and help. Suicide survivors are welcome at all TAPS events for families of our fallen. There is a special suicide loss chat each month and we hold an annual gathering for suicide survivors in the fall.

My New Family

Thursday morning I bounced out of bed early and yelled “Oh my gosh!” I never get up on time and certainly never bounce. But this morning I knew that I would be headed to California for the TAPS seminar. I went to work and taught my lessons, but couldn’t hide my excitement over my pending trip. So at noon Texas time I darn near bolted out of the elementary school and ran home to grab my suitcase.

It’s yet another year beginning without our loved ones...and yet another year ending without them.

Does that mean when they say “Out with the old and in with the new” that it applies to our grieving as well? Do we really acquire new grief with the New Year? I am thinking that the answer to that would be undecided, only because in my mind I am saying yes, but in my heart I am saying no (and I can hear my late husband Dre agreeing with me on that part).
