Please note:

Survivors of Suicide Loss, Inc., is a nonprofit, nonsectarian, self-help support group system for those who have lost a relative or friend through suicide. The Survivors of Suicide Loss volunteers are dedicated to providing information and support to assist in the grieving and healing process.

It is a support group of people who help one another through the stages of grieving.  We share feelings of guilt, anger frustration, emptiness, loneliness and disillusionment.  For some, it is hard to identify or even to understand their feelings.  Through others' expression of what they are feeling, we begin to have a better awareness of what is going on inside us.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to support survivors of a suicide loss and to educate
  the community about suicide and the prevention of suicide.

To uncover our feelings as we talk about them, instead of holding them in, is a great release.  It helps on the road to recovering from our grief and promotes healing.  Thus, talking with others who have a similar experience, who can understand and listen in a special way, is a gift we can give to one another that we might not receive elsewhere.  There is a caring and sensitivity to one another's needs and feelings that many times is not found outside the group.  Nobody understands like someone who has experienced a tragedy themselves.

The art of sharing our feelings and recognizing that others have similar feelings is the very strength of S.O.S.L.  It aids us in gaining perspective on our situation and in making life meaningful and productive for ourselves again.  Survivors of Suicide Loss holds monthly support group meetings in the San Diego area. Survivors of Suicide Loss also publishes a quarterly newsletter and supports this web site.
