Life After Suicide Loss of a Child; The 3 Universal Needs Moms Share

Today I go "down the rabbit hole" to discuss a topic near and dear to my heart. As a mom who lost a child by suicide myself, I have become increasingly aware that while we moms definitely have some different needs we do seem to share 3 common ones. We need: Resources - at the time of loss & beyond to help us find all of the places for help, healing & information Community - a place to connect, grieve & grow with other moms who understand our loss (& by proxy, understand us)Legacy - the need to find ways to ensure our child is remembered, that their life mattered.I explore this topic today and you can find answers to many of these needs within the Leftover Pieces community -- on my website the leftoverpieces.com<br/><br/>It is my hearts mission to provide ways through this to other suicide loss survivors & I am always looking for new ways to do just that. Ultimately, I have discovered that this is not easy, but you do not have to be alone! <br/><br/>Also see the links below to check out all of the NEW things happening here at the Leftover Pieces.
