Welcome. You’ve landed in a place you never asked to be – yet here you are.
And we want you to know: we see you.
When someone you love dies by suicide, life changes in ways that can feel impossible to explain. There is a door that closes behind you, and the terrain ahead can feel fragile, confusing, and unfamiliar.
What once felt certain becomes uncertain. There are the questions no one can answer.
The impossible why’s. The could-I-have-known’s. The guilt. The anger. The unspoken shame. It lives in the silence. In your body. In the moments when the world carries on, yet yours has stopped.
And perhaps what feels hardest of all is that so few people truly understand.
You do not have to carry this alone.
Suicide Grief Support CIC exists to provide compassionate, trauma-informed support through retreats, education, podcasts, and awareness initiatives that help people feel less isolated, more understood, and gently supported as they navigate life after suicide loss.
Healing does not mean forgetting. It means learning how to carry both love and loss, and finding connection, hope, and meaning again – one step at a time.
But this grief – your grief – deserves to be met with care, not isolation.
We are developing a range of retreats, educational programmes, podcasts, and support resources because we understand the quiet devastation that suicide loss can bring.
And while grief is deeply personal and different for each of us, many people find themselves carrying the weight of everyone else’s needs while quietly putting their own pain to one side.
We believe that taking time for yourself is not something that has to wait until you’ve reached breaking point. It is possible to begin caring for yourself while continuing to carry the love and memory of the person you’ve lost.
Our work is for those who are ready to gently and courageously take the next step – not to leave their grief behind, but to learn how to live alongside it with greater compassion, connection, and hope.
Whether you’ve lost your child, your partner, your sibling, a friend, a colleague, or a parent, you do not have to navigate this alone.
Healing is possible.
Even here.
Even now.
You are welcome here exactly as you are.
This is a space for those who long for more than simply surviving each day behind a brave face.
A place to rest. A place to feel understood. A place to reconnect with yourself and others who truly understand.
Because no one should have to carry suicide grief alone.
“Hope isn’t about pretending it’s okay. It’s about trusting that one day, it might be.”
A Personal Welcome from Dr Sue Egan
Hi, I’m Dr Sue. And I get it. If you’re reading this, it’s because you’re living with a kind of pain few truly understand. I’ve been there too.
When my brother took his own life in 2015, it felt as though everything I knew had been shattered. He wasn’t just family – he was my big brother, my sense of safety, and the person I turned to when life felt uncertain.
At the time, I was a single mum raising four children. His death left me with overwhelming feelings of guilt, confusion, and a silence so heavy it felt suffocating. Even as a counsellor and psychologist, I felt lost.
Like many people, I carried on. I stayed strong for everyone else, whilst quietly carrying grief, guilt, and exhaustion beneath the surface.
Over time, I came to understand something important.
I had to put myself first in order to heal.
Alongside my own lived experience, I bring more than 15 years of experience as a counselling psychologist, EMDR therapist, and trauma specialist. My doctoral work, professional training, podcast conversations, and years of supporting people through trauma and bereavement have shaped everything we do at Suicide Grief Support CIC.
Today, we are creating trauma-informed retreats, educational programmes, podcasts, and awareness initiatives to help people affected by suicide loss feel less alone, more understood, and more connected.
Our work is rooted in compassion, evidence-informed practice, and the belief that healing is possible.
Not because grief disappears.
Not because we leave our loved ones behind.
But because it is possible to live with both love and loss, and to find moments of hope, connection, and meaning again with others who understand.

For Professionals & Organisations
Supporting others after suicide loss requires more than compassion – it requires understanding, skill, and care for the supporters themselves.
Dr Sue Egan offers trauma-informed training, consultation, and supervision for professionals, therapists, and organisations working with those affected by suicide. Drawing on her doctoral research in suicide grief, EMDR-informed practice, and years of clinical experience, Sue helps teams build confidence in responding safely and effectively after loss.
Whether you’re a therapist seeking specialist supervision, a service leader wanting to strengthen your postvention response, or an organisation looking to better support your staff and clients – bespoke packages are available to meet your needs.
Together, we can change the culture of silence around suicide – creating spaces where both survivors and professionals feel supported, seen, and equipped.

LISTEN NOWIn June 2026, Suicide Grief Support became a Community Interest Company (CIC) because we believe that specialist support after suicide loss should be rooted in community, compassion, and connection.
As a CIC, our purpose is not simply to provide retreats and educational resources, but to help reduce the stigma and isolation that so often accompany suicide bereavement and to contribute to suicide postvention efforts.
Any surplus generated through our retreats, educational programmes, podcasts, and awareness initiatives is reinvested into the organisation to further our mission. This includes developing new resources, expanding support, producing educational content, and increasing access to specialist retreats through subsidised and funded places where possible.
Thank you for being part of a community that believes no one should have to navigate suicide grief alone.
