4 Phases of Suicide Loss
The term 'postvention' is a concept developed by Dr. Edwin Shneidman to accurately explain the process of suicide grief and bereavement. Support for loss survivors should not have a one-size-fits-all modality and we need to match the type of grief services to how a loss survivor views and processes their own circumstances.

Professional Sector
Postvention is most effective when an upstream approach is followed to support the loss survivor. By working with people in the healthcare, education, insurance, funeral services, cosmetology, baristas and many other sectors where loss survivors live everyday, those bereaved have a greater chance of a quicker and more effective healing.
“A suicide loss survivor is someone who experiences a high level of self-perceived psychological, physical, and/or social distress for a considerable length of time as a result of the suicide of another person” - Jordan & McIntosh, 2011
