About this event
While loss of any kind sends us all on a complicated grief journey, losing a spouse or partner to suicide brings with it added layers of emotions and stigmas that can be, at times, crushing. It can be easy to isolate ourselves in grief, and easier still if the people around us are made uncomfortable by suicide, don't understand, know how to support us, or worse, judge us for our loss. Only those who have experienced this type of loss can truly relate.
Join VSN Leader and staff member, Ashley, every other Wednesday to connect and get support from other peers from other veteran spouses/partners who have lost their veteran to suicide. Ashley has, herself experienced the loss of a partner to suicide and understands the power and healing that can come from peer support. Learn more about Ashley.
To ensure that this group is a safe space for those in attendance, in order to be eligible for this group you must have lost your veteran spouse or partner to suicide.

Since we will be talking at times about our personal lives and families, we ask that participants attend the virtual session from a room where privacy can be maintained, or utilize headphones. We ask that you please join the chat at the scheduled start time. If you join later than 15 minutes, the leader reserves the right to not admit you into the session if they feel it will disrupt the group. If no one joins the chat within the first 15 minutes, the leader will cancel the chat.
