Surviving after suicide means being stigmatized by society. Stigma is the fundamental factor that darkens the lives of the bereaved, overshadowing the pain and sorrow caused by the death.
Survivors find themselves in the midst of a whirlwind of emotions such as anger, shame, guilt, and fear due to the stigmatizing experiences they endure following the suicide. In the midst of this whirlwind, establishing a happy life and returning to normalcy is a distant possibility for the bereaved.
In such a situation, many questions arise that need to be answered: What are the reasons and manifestations of the stigma that isolates and distances suicide survivors from social life? What is the cultural background of the multiple emotions that dominate the lives of the bereaved? How do survivors perceive the relationship between religion and suicide? What challenges do suicide survivors face in reconstructing their daily lives, and how do they cope with them?
This book is a modest study that emerged to find answers to these questions.
