Let Go Of Your Guilt After Suicide Loss FREE 5 Day Support Series
Starting Monday, June 20, host Caro Brookings will be diving into her 3-part framework, where she combine all of her knowledge and experience, which she has used to support hundreds of other suicide loss survivors to release their guilt and find joy again. This isn’t a typical support series, where you just get some fluff and information about what might work. Everything she shares with you is proven to work through scientific research and even brain scans. Remember that time doesn’t heal all wounds. If you stay with her for the entire 5 days, you WILL take action as we go along, and you will walk away with your own personalized plan of what you can do to find peace beyond our 5 days together. You will discover the #1 reason you haven’t found inner peace. You will learn Caro's exact steps that helped her to let go of her guilt after losing her Mum to suicide, and how to live a joyful life and not just survive.

Cobb - Founder of My Grief Connection Tracy Oeser - Founder of Journey Thru Grief Do you feel overwhelming guilt about the suicide of your loved one because you should have done “this” and you could have done “that”? Do you keep thinking about why your loved one took their life? Or maybe you knew your loved one was struggling and you were still unable to save them? You are not alone, and you do not have to suffer in silence. If you have been longing to let go of your guilt after losing your loved one to suicide…then you should sign up for the Healing After Suicide Loss interview series. My friend Caro Brookings has brought together 20+ top experts, authors and support providers from the suicide grief and loss space for this free interview series on how to let go of your guilt, find peace and move forward one day at a time. When your loved one has died by suicide, you don’t have the time or the energy to scour the internet and find some of the fantastic resources that are out there available to you. Maybe you have tried some advice that you’ve heard somewhere and you felt a little better for a while, only to be back at square one the next day. So you sit there alone, feeling sad and anxious, and you wonder if you will ever feel happy again. Here’s what I believe: We don’t move on after suicide loss, but you can move forward if you work through your grief. Because time alone doesn’t heal all wounds - it’s important what you do with your time. You should know it is possible for you too to let go of your guilt and find peace. You just need to know the right steps to take. That’s why I am so grateful for the Healing After Suicide Loss interview series. It’s 5 days of tried and tested advice and encouragement from top experts from around the world to help YOU move forward with your life. It’s free, but you have to save your seat to get access.

If ever there was a time to focus on suicide prevention, it is now! Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health needs are escalating drastically. During the second quarter of 2021, which ended in June, the Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline received 49% more calls than it did in the second quarter of 2020. This number is a significant increase in those recognizing that they are struggling and need support. Thankfully, in Idaho, we are committed as a community to stand by those who are struggling. In September, during National Suicide Prevention Month, Strength 2 Thrive provides space for the community to come together in solidarity and support with those suffering from suicidal thoughts or the grief from the loss of a loved one to suicide. The event has raised nearly $70,000 for the Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline in the previous two years. The walkathon is an uplifting community gathering intended to raise awareness around suicide, offer support for those suffering from suicidal thoughts or attempts, and comfort to those grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide. There will be live local music and speakers throughout the night, a memorial garden of remembrance, and food trucks serving refreshments. During this family-friendly, outdoor event, folks of all ages will walk around the track during the hours that suicide rates are at their highest, showing their emotional support for those who are suffering. Donations are tax-deductible and will benefit the Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline, helping to save lives! Register to walk and raise funds, or donate to support others who are walking, at www.strength2thrive.org.
