In the aftermath of suicide, grief becomes a multi-faceted experience. Traditionally, this grief was silenced where the shame attached to suicide invalidated a person's need for expression. Even now, it can be difficult for people to fully articulate their grief, let alone find an empathetic audience. How do we examine this grief to more clearly hear the voices of the bereaved, and to better understand how to support those who are grieving a suicide death? Indeed, the ripple of suicide grief touches more than those traditionally considered to be impacted by the death. Whole communities can be affected and it cannot be presumed that researchers do not have their own lived experiences of suicide bereavement. In this way, the newly-opened discourse around the experience of suicide grief needs to be dissected within more practical and appropriate research. A balance needs to be created in research where the voices of grief can be included but the experiential context understood and respected.
在自杀事件发生后，悲痛成为一种多方面的体验。传统上，这种悲痛被压抑了，因为自杀带来的耻辱使人们失去了表达的需求。即使在现在，人们也很难完全表达自己的悲痛，更不用说找到一个有同理心的听众了。我们如何更仔细地审视这种悲痛，以便更清楚地听到失去亲人者的声音，并更好地理解如何支持那些因自杀而悲痛的人呢？事实上，自杀悲痛的影响不仅限于传统上被认为受到死亡影响的人。整个社区都可能受到影响，而且不能假设研究人员没有自己经历过自杀丧亲之痛。在这种情况下，需要在更实际和适当的研究中剖析围绕自杀悲痛体验展开的新讨论。需要在研究中创造一种平衡，既要包括悲痛的声音，又要理解和尊重体验的背景。
