Best friend’s DH has died by suicide

[MissRabbitsCV]

My best friend’s DH died by suicide yesterday. What on earth can we do to make things better for her? She has young DC. It’s so awful we just want to help but how?

Some people may not be bothered by the language used, but many others are.

It doesn't hurt to be mindful.

Go round. Take some food. Dont stay long. Give her a hug

Does she want you to take the kids for a few hours.

Give her another hug

Im so sorry. Suicide is bloody awful

This ^^ Even if you don’t get a response, just let her know you’re there for her over the coming months. Sometimes people are so devastated that they can’t respond, but knowing that you’re thinking of her is still comforting.

I’ve learnt that the worst reaction in terrible situations is to avoid the person, because you don’t know what to say. Then they feel very alone. You sound like a lovely friend. 💐

Stop being ridiculous. The op is not "talking about" this family. She is asking for advice how to best support a friend. Get a grip.

I know of more people who have died taking their own lives, than people who have died of cancer.

I'm so sorry for you, and for your friend.
