<h2 style="white-space:pre-line">Siblings &amp; Parents &amp; Pals of Suicide</h2>
Sapos means frogs in Spanish, and frogs symbolize rebirth, change, and transformation.  Suicide loss leaves survivors with unanswered questions, fear, and uncertainty.  SaPPoS is a dedicated platform committed to sharing with those of us navigating the challenging journey of losing a loved one to suicide.  Hearing from others and understanding you're not alone is transformational within itself. 
SaPPoS's mission is to foster a compassionate community where suicide survivors come to share, encourage, and gain hope. Our goal is to offer solace and understanding, helping survivors find strength and healing in the aftermath of loss. By connecting individuals with similar experiences, SaPPoS stands as a beacon of hope and resilience for all suicide loss survivors.

Supporting healing and hope: Join me and others as we share our personal stories of love, loss, and a unified mission to heal.  We encourage others to speak out and share the real, raw reality of life after suicide.

Suicide survivors are all fighters in different ways.  One thing I know we all have in common is that we become zombies who march forward into daily hell again and again, because we have no choice.  Our lives have forever changed.
  
Disturbed, lost, fundamentally and forever changed.  Changed in a way that only fellow grievers will ever even come close to understanding.  We’re left with guilt, overwhelming sadness, anger, and a whole lot of questions that will never be answered.

Welcome to SaPPoS - Siblings, Parents, and Pals of Suicide.&nbsp; While I'm happy you're here, I am 100% sad, and devestated by what brought you here.&nbsp; The hope and goal of SaPPoS is to bring forward real stories of suicicde survivors.&nbsp; To show the raw, cold, lonely place of grief and to learn and share what others have gone through on their journies.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Grief is a language we never expect to learn, yet somehow, we find ourselves forced to speak it fluently. After losing two brothers to suicide, I was left with an ache too deep for words and a silence that stretched endlessly. The world kept spinning, and I found myself searching for meaning.&nbsp; Something beyond just existing through the pain. I needed a way to honor my brothers, navigate the rawness of loss, and connect with others who understood this journey.This blog was born out of that need.Suicide loss is unlike any other. We’re left with guilt, overwhelming sadness, anger, and a whole lot of what if's, why’s, and if only’s. Siblings, parents, and close friends, each experience the loss differently, yet we are all bound by the weight of missing someone we loved deeply. We are survivors, not just of tragedy, but of the journey and life that follows.Through this space, I hope to share the reality of suicide loss.&nbsp; The unspoken moments, the raw emotions, and the slow, uneven path toward healing. But more than that, I want to hear your stories. I want us to create a community where grief is not hidden, where we speak openly, and where remembrance is not just painful, but powerful.Loss reshapes us, but it does not have to define us. By sharing, supporting, and listening to one another, we can find strength in the connections we build. If you’ve ever felt alone in your grief, I hope this space reminds you that you are seen, your pain is valid, and healing, however it looks for you, is possible.&nbsp; For that, I am happy you are here.&nbsp;&nbsp;Let’s walk this path together.&nbsp; We are not alone.&nbsp;&nbsp;
