Dear Survivor of Suicide, I would like to invite you to participate in a research project on suicide bereavement. I understand that suicide bereavement is a difficult process and hope that this project will shed light on what is most helpful to survivors in coping with their loss. The study will involve taking an online survey available at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SuicideBereavement. There, you will find more details of the project, the survey, contact information for the researcher (Dr. Regina T. P. Aguirre), and will be asked if you would like to participate. I appreciate your time and consideration. Sincerely, Frank Campbell, PhD, LCSW, CT

We invite survivors of suicide to participate in an online study about the loss of your loved one and your experiences following this loss. Currently, we don’t know much about what is helpful or unhelpful for survivors of suicide loss as they cope with the experience in general. We know that survivors have differing experiences in seeking help after the loss, but we aren’t sure what makes seeking help a positive and helpful process for some but not for others. It is our hope that your participation in this study will help us to better understand the experiences of survivors of suicide loss in general; as well as the ways in which personal factors, such as personality traits and attitudes, impacted your grief experience. We hope that you will consider participating in this study. You will be asked questions about yourself, the person you lost, personal attitudes about those in your social environment and help seeking, and how you manage difficult situations. Participation is entirely up to you. At any point in the survey, you can decide that you are no longer interested in participating. If you are willing to participate, please go to http://survey.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_bHGtwJ4zseYViVT. Thank you for considering participation in this study.
