Grief is unique kind of pain. It often comes and goes. I feel that it comes in waves. Grief doesn’t really go away fully, it just keeps taking different forms.

Yes losing loved ones to suicide is a hard thing to overcome. I don’t know if it’s helpful but a rabbi at a funeral of a family member said some profound things that I found helpful. One thing he said was we wish they seeked help and we wish it didn’t end this way, but all we can do is respect their decision, respect their choice and remember them the way they were, honoring memory of them. “Respecting their choice” stuck with me.
