What we know about trauma is that the body remembers some of the specific details in a concrete and tangible way. We cannot predict which ones it will remember and often people feel frustrated by the things that their system ‘on alert’ responds to.
Today, November 18th is International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day. It is a day where people from across the globe can come together to recognize the profound impact traumatic grief leaves in its wake. It is a time to remember those loved ones who have been lost and to support survivors who live on with this often unbearable weight.
