Zusammenfassung
Neuere Schätzungen gehen davon aus, dass von einem Suizid 10–28 Personen direkt betroffen sind. Für die meisten Angehörigen stellt ein Suizid nahezu „alles“ aus der Vergangenheit in Frage. Hinterbliebene nach einem Suizid sind in erster Linie Opfer, die einen langen Trauerprozess vor sich haben und Unterstützung benötigen. In der ersten Zeit nach einem Suizid ist es wichtig, dass Freunde, Nachbarn und andere nahestehende und vertrauenswürdige Menschen Hilfe anbieten, auch, um nur die Funktionsfähigkeit im Alltag aufrecht zu erhalten. Auch später benötigen Hinterbliebene nach Suizid noch Hilfe: Experten sind sich darüber einig, dass die initiale Aufmerksamkeit auf den traumatischen Stress fokussiert werden sollte, Selbsthilfegruppen unterstützend sein können und bei bereits psychisch Kranken Psychopharmakotherapie und Psychotherapie eingesetzt werden sollten.
