A Conversation with Survivors of Suicide Loss (SOSL Canada)

“It is so hard to know how to begin to talk about the loss of a loved one to suicide, however this thoughtful DVD resource, developed by Penny Knapp and the Survivors of Suicide Loss team, will help. As you listen to the different voices and stories of those bereaved, sharing with intimate honesty, not only their confusion and anguish, but also their intuitive wisdom and the learning that has guided them on this painful journey – your heart will be touched with healing and hope.”
— Diana Sands, PhD, Director, Bereaved by Suicide Centre for Intense Grief, Australia.
