When the hand of grief knocks
and it is attached to a human face, it is most difficult to avoid
asking “Why?” The answers may never be fully known.
But the question can’t be dismissed as a mystery. It’s
not like a terminal illness or a random accident. There may be
randomness to many types of violence, but there is usually aggressive
intent behind wars, attacks and violations of all kinds. |
|
When that intent is to take one’s
own life, it becomes even more puzzling. And beyond all
these questions and doubts are the stunning swiftness
of events and the grief that accompanies the loss. There
may be randomness to violence against others, but there
is usually intent behind wars, attacks and violations
of all kinds. When that intent is to take one’s
own life, it becomes more puzzling still. And beyond all
these questions and doubts are the stunning swiftness
of events and the grief that accompanies the loss.

Without finding all the answers,
however, you may still be able to find enough of them. Enough,
at least, to get through this, or help someone else get through
it. There may always be some looking back, but GriefSupportServices.org
also provides you chances to look with more wisdom, from
new vantage points |
|
|
and with
a stronger will to endure. Many forms of grief result from
violence, and we gather people who share those particular
experiences together. Groups for discussion where participants
help each other are mixed with opportunities to get assistance
from professionals on our site, either through articles
or direct responses to you. |

We hope you have services and groups close
to you that can help you in your community, but we are
here for you any time of day and can refer you to many
of these organizations through our resources listings.
Meanwhile, benefit from the expressions we post on our
site, from poetry and songs to entire web pages crafted
in the words, pictures and sounds of individuals who have
felt the pain you have come to know. Or contribute thoughts
of your own. We think the offerings at GriefSupportServices.org
allow you to choose your own pace and style for expressing
your needs and feelings. Take advantage as you see yourself
ready.
