  • Surveyed a national sample of 1132 American adults who experienced a suicide loss within the last six years.
  • Measured various mental health indicators including PTSD, depression, and perceived stigma.
  • Compared results with findings from previous studies on longer-term suicide survivors.
  • Recent suicide loss survivors reported better self-rated mental health and greater social support than longer-term survivors.
  • Higher levels of post-traumatic growth were associated with less perceived stigma and greater utilization of treatment resources.
