Closure after suicide loss—it's what so many of us desperately seek,yet what if closure isn't something we're meant to have? What if it's not even real?

In this deeply compassionate exploration of grief after suicide loss, Amy challenges the common belief that we need answers and understanding before we can heal. She reveals how the pursuit of closure can actually keep us stuck in our grief, preventing us from moving forward. The painful reality of suicide is that it often comes suddenly, unexpectedly, leaving survivors with a profound sense that closure never had a chance.

Amy offers a powerful perspective shift: what we truly need isn't closure but peace. And peace doesn't come from having all the answers—it comes from how we manage our minds around what happened. Even if we had every possible explanation for why our loved one died by suicide, would it actually take away our pain? Probably not, because our pain isn't coming from unanswered questions; it's coming from our thoughts about those questions.

Rather than seeking closure, Amy encourages listeners to find meaning. This isn't about being glad the loss happened, but about integrating it into our lives in a way that brings purpose—whether through sharing your story, supporting others, or simply living more fully because of what you've experienced. The journey through grief isn't about forgetting; it's about learning to carry our grief while still creating a life of meaning and even joy.

Have you been waiting for answers that might never come? Consider asking yourself different questions: "How can I allow myself to grieve without needing to wrap it up?" "What meaning can I create from my loss?" "How can I think about this in a way that brings me peace right now?" Share this episode with someone who needs to hear that they can move forward without closure—because living with love, meaning, and purpose is the true goal of healing.

As always, thanks for listening!
