Saturday 22 November is International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day. Every year, thousands of families, communities and individuals are devastated by suicide. Grief can leave people feeling isolated, unheard and in need of connection. Don’t feel you have to do this alone.

If you are affected by suicide bereavement, there is support available. Call South East London Suicide Bereavement Service on 07933 393 397 or Survivors of Suicide Bereavement service (SoBS ) on 0300 111 5065.

If you or someone you know is struggling, Samaritans is a charity dedicated to reducing feelings of isolation and disconnection. Whatever you're going through, you can call any time, from any phone for free:
