International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day
Join NOMV as we recognize International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day on November 20th. This day is important to show support to survivors as they share their stories to find hope and connections through shared experiences.
One of our volunteers on the International Subcommittee, John Gibson, shares his story of moving forward on the journey after loss. He credits the love of family, skilled and caring professional help, the second family he found in SOBS (Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide) and his faith. After losing his veterinarian son Cameron, John channeled his grief into volunteering with NOMV.
“I am beginning to allow life to grow around me again. I have days when I hear myself laughing; there are days when I don’t think about Cameron every hour; I’ve found friends who have been utterly amazing and stood with me through the darkest days and darkest nights, despite my desire to hide away.”
