How friend groups navigate collective guilt after suicide loss

Our close friend group has been fractured since Jake died by suicide eight months ago, and we're all carrying different versions of guilt about what we missed or didn't do. Some of us want to talk about it constantly, others can barely mention his name, and we're losing each other on top of losing him.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is discovering that survivor guilt doesn't unite people in grief—it can isolate them within their shared loss, creating new losses on top of the original one.
