@Shaz51 The IF is one of the hardest things to live with. And I'm not sure that it completely goes away once you have supported someone who has attempted suicide. In speaking to lots of families and friends in this situation, they tell us that coming to terms with the unknown is really hard, but really important. Some of the things that can be helpful is having a safety plan with the person you support. This means working with them to identify what you can do when they are feeling distressed. It also means working out how to best communicate with them at these times. And definitely talking to others about what has worked for them.
