The purpose of this doctoral project was to create an intervention that could be used by clinicians in the field to support military children and families after a parent in the family has died by suicide. Death by suicide is a significant problem across many cultures, however death by suicide among the military population is particularly current and leaves the loved ones of those individuals who die by suicide with certain challenges. Research in the field has been conducted to explore the differences among suicide bereavement and bereavement of other types of death.The experience of suicide bereavement is often made complex due to several aspects suicide survivors experience. Some of these aspects unique to suicide bereavement include engaging in a process of meaning making to try to understand why one's loved one would take their own life, experiencing feelings such as rejection, shame and stigma as well as at times being exposed to the death which can cause additional trauma and sometimes developing additional mental health changes such as depression, PTSD or suicidal ideation. While grief and loss can already be a challenging for children and adults as is expected within the normal grieving process of any death, both adult and child suicide survivors are at risk for mental health challenges following losing a loved one to suicide.While the historical conceptualization as well as how supporting individuals through grief is well understood in the literature, there is a need to further understand how to support the suicide survivor population. Suicide survivors are a vulnerable population, as are children as well as the military population. The development of this intervention aimed to support a bereaved parent grieving the loss of their spouse to suicide, as well as with the transition to taking on new roles and supporting their children through their grief. The intervention also aimed to support the individual children as well as the family system, while remaining attuned to unique needs of the military population and suicide survivors. The initial draft of the intervention was developed out of an extensive literature review. This draft was sent out to three expert reviewers who reviewed the intervention and provided feedback. Their expert feedback was then used to revise the intervention.The feedback provided by the expert reviewers was overwhelmingly positive. The reviewers found the intervention to be a useful tool for clinicians, especially those clinicians who may not have as much experience working with this population. The reviewers found the intervention to be relevant to the needs of suicide survivors, developmentally appropriate to the needs of children and culturally sensitive to the military population. The suggested changes provided by the expert reviewers highlighted the importance of including extensive information related to the complexity of suicide, including the aspect of trauma informed care necessary to providing support to this population, providing additional resources within the intervention and enhancing the information within the intervention related to post traumatic growth. These suggestions were incorporated into the final intervention. More research is necessary in order to assess the efficacy of this intervention through a pilot program.
