A well-thought-out primer for the clueless. I've not lost anyone to suicide but there are instances where your list works for loss in general.

When my husband was dying I asked someone who'd previously offered to help for some help. I needed something for his care and couldn't leave him to go get it. Their question to me was,

"You mean right now?"

I still have my address book where their name is obliterated with a Sharpie.

I'm sorry for your loss.
