Erica Barber - story
When it comes to su***de loss, every individual’s experience of grief is uniquely their own – yet hope and understanding can be found by connecting with others who have lost a loved one, and learning about the path they have taken toward healing.
AFSP is proud to launch a new series of videos, “Living with Su***de Loss,” that spotlight survivors of su***de loss and their stories of hope and healing.
The videos each tell one person's story of losing a loved one to su***de, navigating the pain of their loss, and what they have learned about how influences like culture, religion, background, and community can all affect the healing journey.
Thank you Erika Barber for sharing your story of losing a sister to su***de.
