I think it was Carl Rogers who said that. When I lost my little daughter to an accident, and though it wasn't a suicide, it still just had all of that "black dog" of never-ending pain and depression. I did have a major suicide in my life....my best friend shot his head off at 19. The pain is all different, but if feels like it comes from the same place.
As others have said...talk about it..support others and let yourself be supported. I *really* don't know about this whole 'closure' and 'healing' thing..I just take it as one day a step ahead..one two back, etc.
All the best,
Jay
