Abstract
Suicidal behavior has been silenced and stigmatized throughout history, making it difficult to report and prevent. For each suicide carried out there are 20 attempts and each completed suicide impacts 135 people. Comparing the types of losses and experiences of each bereaved person would be neither appropriate nor fair since each grieving process is unique and unrepeatable and its development depends on many variables. However, bereavements after death by suicide share a series of characteristics that increase their complexity while developing and make them unique and different from other types of loss. In this piece we intend to discuss the theory and results regarding the experience of grief due to suicide provided by research on mourning processes, together with the presentation of Cristina’s case.
