A community for people who lost someone to suicide — built by a survivor, for survivors. Real. Human. No pamphlets.
"Grief after suicide isn't something you move past. It's something you learn to carry differently."
I found my husband. I was six months postpartum. I didn't sleep for days. I didn't eat. I searched the internet at 3am for anyone who had been through what I had just been through — a new baby, a dead husband, and a grief so specific and strange that nothing I found came close to naming it.
I desperately wanted to find one person who got the complicated grief. The anger. The questions with no answers. The strange specific loneliness of losing someone to suicide while also keeping myself and a baby alive.
I never found that person. So I became her.
Still Here isn't therapy and it isn't a hotline. It's a real community where you can be angry, funny, exhausted, and surviving — sometimes all in the same afternoon.
No one walks in here on purpose. But no one leaves alone.
What we are not: Still Here is not a therapy service, a crisis line, or a clinical resource. If you are in crisis, please reach out to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988) or Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741).
No algorithm. No ads. No strangers who don't get it. Just people who do.
Every resource here was written from lived experience — not a clinician's office. These are the things I wish someone had handed me in the first weeks, the first year, and the years after that.
