Every year the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention holds an event where people affected by suicide loss gather around the world at events in their local communities to find comfort and gain understanding as they share stories of healing and hope.
This is the fourth out of four years (!) that the Czech Republic will be participating with Prague Against Suicide.
This year’s gathering will include a screening of the AFSP’s powerful new documentary, “The Journey.” I will lead the informal workshop offering participants the opportunity to process the video, share their experiences and memories, talk about the person/people they’ve lost and examine their feelings - address questions they may have such as: Why did this happen? How do I cope?
For many loss survivors, attending a Survivor Day event is the first time they realize they are not alone. Just hearing the stories from people at all stages of healing can be helpful. The gathering also provides participants with a chance to share their own stories with those who understand firsthand the challenges of living in the aftermath of a suicide loss.
