Scenario

When you understand someone's suicide in ways their family does not

My best friend's son died by suicide last month and she keeps asking me why I think he did it, but I know he was gay and afraid to tell her and I do not know if telling her would help or destroy her.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Having insight into someone's hidden pain creates responsibility for either bearing that knowledge alone or risking additional trauma to grieving loved ones.
