Firearm suicides account for more than half of all suicide deaths in the United States. We've talked at length on RBB about those losses, and how we can help prevent them, from storing firearms locked and unloaded to reaching out for help. But folks who have lost loved ones to suicide may also be reeling with being a survivor of suicide loss. To talk about how to talk about suicide, how to best support one another, and how survivors of suicide loss have built committees of healing, hosts Kelly and JJ were joined by Dr. Doreen Marshall of AFSP — the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, also known as Survivor Day, takes place each year on the Saturday before American Thanksgiving, with virtual and in-person events in communities everywhere.

Today, I go "Down the Rabbit Hole" to discuss things I have watched, binged or still want to watch with regards to suicide, loss & grief in general. These are everything from movies to series to documentaries; and can be watched on various platforms. THIS IS NOT A DEFINITIVE LIST of what I have watched NOR all of the subject matter  ... just some that I chose to share today. Some of these titles are about suicide loss, but most just about loss and grief and how the characters deal with it in such different ways -- just like we do. I admit my taste runs to dark comedy or very real (head on tackling) subject matter so my list will be heavy that direction.  I would love to know what you have watched that has distracted you or kept you company or held your heart as you grieve.As with everything you hear on my podcasts, please take that which serves you & leave the rest. I hope you will find something of value & I am so sorry that you need to be here, but so honored you are here. Talk soon!As I say at the end of the episode, there some really great conversations with some dynamic people coming in the next few months. Please reach out to me if you know of someone that I should talk to or if you yourself would like to have a conversation around the suicide loss and grief space. Instagram is probably still the best way to contact me or directly through email. Here is the list of the films, series or other that I talked about AND as I said, I have listed next to each where I think (hope) you can find it to watch today ... but you, like me, may be relegated to "Google" a title and find out where it is currently since this seems to change often!

According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s website , International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is “an event in which survivors of suicide loss come together to find connection, understanding, and hope through their shared experience.” This year’s International Survivors of Suicide Loss Days was on Saturday, Nov. 21. The Monday, Nov. 23 Zoom event brought together representatives from San Bernardino County Behavioral Health, the City of Rancho Cucamonga, and Uplift Family Services.

For anyone that knows of a friend or an acquaintance that experienced a suicide loss in their life, if you are able, if you are emotionally and mentally capable, go and sit with that person and let them share their thoughts and feelings with you about it.

End the silence of suicide. Listen today as we engage in Real Raw Talk about suicide with Missy Stolfi, Area Director for the Western and Central New York Chapters of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. You too can join with us as we become a voice to fight suicide. November 21, 2020 is International Survivors of Suicide Day -- a day when people who've lost a loved one to suicide come together at over 360 gatherings around the world. Missy says, "One thing I’m always amazed at is that by being out there about my involvement with AFSP, how many people have opened up to me, both friends and strangers. Since I joined this organization, I have had friends I’ve known for years write me literal letters sharing their personal struggles. I have strangers notice my AFSP shirt or bumper sticker and strike up a conversation with me. By being more open about mental health and not avoiding using the word ‘suicide’, it gives people permission to open up themselves, to know you are someone who will not judge them."Whether you have struggle with suicide yourself or have lost a loved one, know you are not alone.
