We are the Survivors of Loved Ones' Suicides, a peer-led, non-denominational support group located in San Antonio, Texas. We're dedicated to helping each other and ourselves work through the emotional turmoil caused by the death of a loved one, friend, or associate to suicide.
More than 33,000 people are lost each year to suicide in the United States. Countless thousands more are left behind to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives while trying to cope with the tragic loss of a loved one to suicide. This is where SOLOS can help. Explore the site, look at what we offer and see if we may be able to help you.

A thought for the new year
Grievers are there for each other. A certain magical connection is woven between and amongst people who understand and have known deep sorrow. You can feel it in grief groups. You can feel it in online communities. This connection is a healing balm. Know that as you reach out to another in pain, you are both healing. As you receive love from another griever, you are both growing. The facilitators and members of SOLOS hope that you will get and receive some healing while attending the group meetings.

"When people kill themselves, they think they're ending the pain, but all they're doing is passing it on to those they leave behind." Jeannette Walls
"Hope is a necessity for normal life and the major weapon against the suicide impulse." Karl A. Menninger
