Suicide is a tragedy, especially when a young person takes their life. I lost my wife to suicide, so I know first hand what the family and truly close friends of Ryan Nash are experiencing. When a suicide occurs, there are many questions left unanswered and a wide variety of emotions that will be experienced. I want to share some resources with the community (1) Suicide Survivors Handbook http://www.suicidology.org/c/document_library/get_file?folderId=229&name=DLFE-73.pdf and (2) specifically for the schools in the area: After a Suicide - A Toolkit for Schools http://www.afsp.org/files/Surviving/toolkit.pdf

A number of free resources designed to help people bereaved by suicide are available through the "Suicide Grief Support Quick Reference" (http://sg.sg/griefreference) a tool developed by Unified Community Solutions and a work group of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Consumer-Survivor Subcommittee (1-800-273-TALK/8255).
