Embracing Hope: Healing After Suicide Loss — Single-Parish Printable License
After a suicide loss, families may long for a meaningful way to remember the person they love while gently reconnecting with others and the life around them. Acts of Kindness is a simple Catholic grief-support activity that invites individuals and families to consider small, compassionate actions they may choose to do in memory of their loved one.
The resource offers ideas such as planting a memorial tree or garden, creating encouragement or prayer cards, offering quiet acts of generosity, and supporting other grieving families. It also provides space for families to identify acts of kindness that feel personal and meaningful to them.
For parishes, this is an easy resource to keep ready for suicide-loss support groups, remembrance events, parish bereavement ministry, retreats, or individual family accompaniment. It gives pastoral leaders something tangible to offer without placing pressure on a grieving person to “find meaning” in their loss. Instead, families can engage with the activity when and if it feels supportive to them.
A parish license allows your pastoral team to print this resource whenever it may serve a family, making it a practical addition to your parish grief-care library and helping extend compassionate accompaniment beyond the immediate days following a death.
Single-Parish Printable License: The purchasing parish may print unlimited copies for families directly served by that parish and for approved parish leaders using the resource in pastoral ministry. The digital file may not be shared, emailed, uploaded, reproduced, or distributed to another parish, mission, school, ministry location, or organization, including another parish within the same diocese. Each parish must purchase its own license. Diocesan-wide use requires a separate diocesan license from Red Bird Ministries.
