SUICIDE OF MY GRANDCHILD - NO HELP

I can’t offer help but I see there are some good connections on here and really hope they are helpful for you Grammy57 As with others, we have some experience of this with the young son of a friend but it is not quite the same as being a family member. Awful,awful situation.

So sorry for your loss. I'm sure you will find something here. I found these through 'Good Morning Britain' helplines. These in particular for suicide:

SOBS - Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide
Helpline: 0300 111 5065
www.uk-sobs.org.uk
SOBS exists to meet the needs and break the isolation of those bereaved by the suicide of a close relative or friend, aiming to provide a safe, confidential environment in which bereaved people can share their experiences and feelings, so giving and gaining support from each other.

SOS Silence of Suicide
For support call: 0808 115 1505 (8pm to midnight M-F, 4pm to midnight weekends)
We support everyone affected by suicide, whether they be bereaved, having thoughts of suicide, or have attempted suicide. Everyone is vulnerable, especially right now when the world as we know it has changed, bringing mental health fragilities to those who have never before experienced them and an escalation of poor mental health for vulnerable people who were already struggling.

Support After Suicide Partnership

Basically if your daughter is not crying out loud enough for the help she needs and

if you are afraid she might take her own life then you must break boundaries and phone her GP, too. xx

As a grandma of a young teenage girl my heart goes out to you. I'm afraid I have no personal experience of such a tragedy but try all of the suggestions given to you on here, however remote they may seem to be.

I hope your daughter gets the help she deserves. And don't forget to look after yourself too. xxxxx

I am so sorry for all that you are going through and hope that you can find the right support for your DD - and for you too as you are going through so much.

Grammy 57 - I hope one of the voluntary groups mentioned can help.
I just wanted to say how much I admire you for keeping going & being there for your other grandchildren, you're worried that your daughter doesn't have support but she does - she has you. I know she needs professional help but knowing you've got her back must be such a prop when she's struggling so.
When you find some support for her, maybe you could benefit from some support for yourself too.

The Hub of Hope( gooogle it) is a service that will tell you what services exist in your area.It was set up by Jake Mills a man with lived experience of mental health problems
I agree with Louisa 1523 that trying to trace who " should have" will waste energy and not help you. There are some amazing services out there ( definitely Compassionate Friends too - set up by Linda Hurcombe who lost her own daughter and has written books about it.
But at the end of the day grief cannot be erased or hastened - so so sorry for your situation. Seek help for yourself too through any of these charities

My heart goes out to you all,I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm afraid I don't have any advice, just wanted to give my condolences

My friend lost her 19 year old son to suicide in 2020. She says she was greatly supported by MIND.

What a tragic loss for all of you . I have no words. I can only hope and pray that you are all strong enough to bear this sorrow . 💔

I am so sorry for your tragic loss.

I’m so sorry for what your daughter and you are going through. I am sure others on here who have suffered this most tragic loss will be able to offer you some advice and support.

This website lists organisations that can help (including the one Primrose has suggested).

Oh Grammy57 this is so heartbreaking, my friends son did this too he was a bit older just coming up to 21
He had everything
As the police etc haven’t come up with counselling have you asked at your or your daughters doctors for help
There are bereavement counsellors at most hospitals I believe Could you afford a private counsellor to save waiting any longer
I can’t imagine how heart broken you both are

I’m so sorry, that’s an utter tragedy. I hope you can find help here.

First of all, I am very sorry for your loss ....unfortunately mental health support is thin on the ground these days....don't worry yourself with who 'should have' ....concentrate on moving forward....has your DD seen the gp? Has she been referred ( or self referred' ) to any support service? ....is she looking for specific support....ie with her drinking? Is she asking youbto help her find support?

I’m so sorry. I hope someone on GN can help you. What a dreadful thing to have happen. Praying for you and your family. 💐

So sorry for your loss. X

I have a friend and her husband who fundraise for the Papyrus project for young suicides.

I wonder if they could help.
