You Are Not Alone

Foreword

This directory provides information for the bereaved and provides a listing of generalbereavement services and specific services available to those bereaved following suicide.

Although the effects of suicide on the bereaved can be similar to other forms of death, theycan also differ in a number of ways. For the suicide bereaved, making sense of the death,coping with feelings of rejection, anger, guilt and disbelief can be even greater issues.Typically, suicide affects a wide circle of people, many of whom feel isolated and burdenedafter the event.

This directory contains practical information for the bereaved and lists individuals and organisations across the country providing services to those who are bereaved. Theserange from local support groups, self help groups, voluntary or community based groups tolarger organisations with multiple branches. The directory also provides a number of con-tacts for organisations in Northern Ireland.

The directory is part of the implementation of the strategy set out in "Reach Out" - theNational Strategy for Action on Suicide Prevention. A related publication entitled “ Help andAdvice on Coping with a Death by Suicide” is also available on our website: www.nosp.ie

My thanks to all the individuals and organisations which assisted this work by completingand returning their details and which continue to provide care and assistance to those whoare bereaved.

Our intention is that this information will also be provided on our website and will be updat-ed over time. A form is included for those who wish to be considered for inclusion in futurepublications and for those who wish to update their entries.

You Are Not AloneIntroduction

Although everyone's reaction to a bereavement is different, most people experience someof the following emotional responses when someone close to them dies:

l Disbeliefl Depressionl Shockl Anxietyl Angerl Despair

These emotions normally occur, however, some or more of these responses may be experienced for differing lengths of time, depending on the individual. The main initialresponses to a death - even one that has long been expected - are disbelief, shock andanger. These may lessen in time and can be followed by a sense of guilt, depression, anxiety and despair. You may also feel an acute sense of longing for the dead person, hopelessness at the thought of their absence, loneliness and sadness at their loss or evena sense of relief that they are gone (which may, in turn, lead to feelings of guilt).

Some physical symptoms experienced after bereavement can be quite acute and distress-ing. It is important to realise that these are normal parts of the grieving process and willpass in time. Physical reactions may include:

l loss of energy and interest in life l an inability to sleep or constant tiredness l poor concentration and forgetfulness l loss of appetite or compulsive comfort eating l a "frozen" inability to cry or a tendency to continuously burst into tears l nausea and/or diarrhoea l headaches and unexplained body pains.

There are many bereavement services and support groups throughout the country, bothpublic and private, professional and voluntary, religious and secular. If you are religious,there may be pastoral care available through your local priest, order, minister, rabbi or congregation. You should make contact through the relevant place of worship.

This directory provides information and contact details about organisations that provide support to the bereaved. Some organisations have several branches and these arelisted separately and also in the relevant listing for specific counties. Other organisationsprovide a more limited service to a specific area or in terms of the hours that the servicemay be available. In many cases the service is provided by volunteers and services areprovided free of charge.

Those who are looking for support should consider discussing the matter with their GP inthe first instance. Those intending to use any of the services listed should familiarise them-selves with the disclaimer at the end of this directory.

You Are Not AloneRainbows

Rainbows provide a safe setting in which children can talk through their feelings with otherchildren who are experiencing similar situations. They are helped to articulate their feelingsby an adult facilitator or listener. Rainbows provide journals, story books, games and activ-ities which form a structured programme to lead the children gently through the grievingprocess.

Rainbows help by:

l supporting the children to re-build their self esteem l enabling the children to name, understand and come to terms with the

many emotions they experience;l reassuring the children who have anxieties or feelings of guilt; l encouraging the children to move towards forgiving those people whom

they feel have caused their pain.

Rainbows is not a counselling or therapy programme. A child showing severe symptoms ofgrieving should be referred for professional help.
