To illustrate the main characteristics of the request for and choice of support by a population accessing a dedicated service for people bereaved through suicide.The participants were divided first according to their reason for requesting support and based on their choice of intervention, which were "caring" services (improve knowledge about suicide prevention, postvention and grief support) and "curing" services (psychotherapy, chat groups, and meditation retreats).The study was based on 539 participants, chiefly middle-aged women. Most had lost kin and the time since suicide ranged from 1day to 45 years. The main reasons for contacting the service were: seeking help for symptoms (42%), connecting with other suicide survivors (19%); 15% reported not knowing what to ask for. Among the participants, 30% participated in the "curing" interventions; they were slightly older and had more grief symptoms, some above the threshold for complicated grief. These participants had more often survived a child or partner and more frequently sought contact with other survivors or were more likely to be seeking help for symptoms.The presence on the web of a project specialized in the care of suicide survivors can provide a resource bringing them closer to curing their emotional pain.
为了阐明通过自杀死亡者专门服务机构获取支持的请求和选择的主要特征。参与者首先根据其请求支持的原因，并根据其干预措施的选择进行分组，这些干预措施包括“关爱”服务（提高对自杀预防、后事处理和悲痛支持的认识）和“治疗”服务（心理治疗、聊天小组和冥想静修）。本研究基于 539 名参与者，主要是中年女性。大多数人失去了亲人，自自杀以来的时间从 1 天到 45 年不等。联系该服务的主要原因是：寻求症状缓解（42%）、与其他自杀幸存者建立联系（19%）；15%的人表示不知道该问什么。在参与者中，30%的人参与了“治疗”干预措施；他们年龄稍大，悲痛症状更多，一些人超过了复杂悲痛的阈值。这些参与者更有可能经历过孩子或伴侣的死亡，更频繁地寻求与其他幸存者的联系，或者更有可能因症状寻求帮助。在网上专门为自杀幸存者提供关怀的项目可以为他们提供资源，帮助他们治愈情感痛苦。
