However, if you have lost a loved one through suicide or a drug-related death, you may already know that people may indeed be unconsciously cruel and insensitive. They will make assumptions about your loved one that diminish the whole of that persons life. Regardless of how he or she died, you deserve to tell the whole story, without shame, without stigma. Coming out of the silence and spreading the whole, larger truth helps all of us face down the denial and ideas our culture perpetrates about violence and good or bad victims. ~ Kathleen OHara, M.A., A Grief Like No Other: Surviving the Violent Death of Someone You Love
