Scenario

When tragedy makes you too painful for others to be around

My son died by suicide and our couple friends do not invite us to dinner anymore because grief makes people uncomfortable and we remind them that children can die.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Profound loss can exile us from communities that cannot bear witness to our pain.
