Lesson Overview

8.08 – When a Friend Dies by Suicide: Losing a friend to suicide brings pain layered with shock, guilt, and unanswered questions. You may replay your last conversation, wondering what signs you missed or what you could have done differently. These thoughts are natural but not your fault. Grief after suicide can be isolating because people often avoid the topic, leaving you with heavy silence. It’s okay to talk about your confusion and anger as much as your sadness. Sharing stories of your friend can honor their life beyond the way they died. Find support from trusted adults or groups where others understand this kind of loss. Healing doesn’t erase the memory; it reshapes it so you can carry love instead of only pain. Over time, remembering them with compassion—both for them and yourself—becomes an act of survival and hope.
