The terms "suicide survivors" and "suicide attempt survivors" refer to different groups: those who lose loved ones to suicide and those who survive their own suicide attempts. The stigma attached to suicide complicates the grieving process, as survivors often feel a loss of identity and believe society scrutinizes them. Support groups play a vital role in helping these individuals connect with others who share similar experiences, significantly alleviating feelings of loneliness and isolation, and allowing space for healing and understanding.
