Grief reactions and recovery in a support group for people bereaved by suicide.
Recent controlled studies have demonstrated that there are few quantitative, but a number of qualitative differences between those bereaved by suicide and those bereaved in other ways. Observations from participants in a support group of those bereaved through suicide are presented here. Guidelines are offered concerning therapy for those who are so clearly distressed by this mode of death.
