When parents struggle to address teen grief after suicide

My partner and I are trying to support our teenage daughter after her best friend's suicide, but everything we say seems to minimize her pain or scare us about her safety. We're walking on eggshells and she's shutting down completely.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Fear and the urge to protect can prevent parents from witnessing their child's authentic grief experience.
