What is LOSS?
The LOSS (Loving Outreach to Survivors of Suicide) Program is a support group for those who are grieving a death by suicide of a family member or close friend. The LOSS Program is a non-denominational program offered by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago in collaboration with the Diocese of Joliet.
What does LOSS do?
LOSS offers a safe, non-judgmental place where group members are assisted throughout the grieving process. The support and understanding of the trained clinicians coupled with the knowledge and first-hand experience of veteran LOSS members help survivors to realize that they are not alone, that they are not losing their minds, and that they will not feel this deep intense sadness for the rest of their lives.
How does LOSS help?
- Provides a warm, nurturing network of other survivors
- Educates members about the grieving process
- Emphasizes that life will be joyful again; never the same, but worth living
- Offers hope and strength to survivors
