How to get over when a suicide tragedy, happened within the family?

Yesterday, a bad news came through in my inbox. My sister told me, that my niece commited suicide by jumping off the building. She's only 20 years old. I can't get over it. I just keep on thinking about it. I am so scared because I have a pre-teen daughter who is very emotional. 🖤😭😢

Make it clear (and true) that your daughter can talk to you about anything. Make it true by consciously controlling your reactions to what she says.

Yes, talk to her, but it's more important that she talks to you. Kids of that age are no longer parroting what their parents say and think and feel. They've got their own.

Let her know, above all, that she is precious and loved and necessary and there is nothing she does or has done to her that will change that.
