TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Programs for Survivors)

TAPS has been a savior for me, offering compassionate care to those grieving the loss of a military loved one. It is through their groups & the programs I've participated in that I am learning how to honor Mark and his service, regardless of the circumstances. I now also have my TAPS family to lean on when I need support. 

SOSL: Survivors of Suicide Loss, San Diego

There are many support groups for those of us surviving a suicide loss. SOSL of San Diego is currently the only place where I know EVERYBODY in the room understands and respects my experience. It is a non-secular safe space for sharing and connecting with others dealing with their own loss of a loved one to suicide. 

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255

The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones, and best practices for professionals. *Military - Press 1* If you're not sure if it's for you, call and find out. I called once when I needed someone to talk to, and it got me through.
