What Do You Say to the Survivors of a Suicide?
Question by Greg: What do you say to the survivors of a suicide?
My daughter’s friend’s father committed suicide the other day and I know the wife and daughter and don’t know what to say to them. This has been pulling at my heart since I heard and I still haven’t come up with something to say to them. I know I’m going to loose it when I see them because I still can’t believe this happened. What do you say?
