Remembering our losses

The aftermath of a suicide can be devastating for families, friends and colleagues, and is often marked by confusion, anger, guilt, rejection and frustration.

Isolation and alienation can also feature for families, and they may struggle for years to understand why their loved one died so tragically.

Where we gather

Lifeline holds two non-denominational memorial services on the Mid Coast to remember those we have lost to suicide:

  • Tall Ships Reserve, Tinonee
  • Windmill Hill, Port Macquarie

Both are held in December, usually in the evening. All are welcome. You do not need to register, and you do not need to have used our services.
