Our Signature Events
LOSS Community Services offers events that bring suicide loss survivors together in remembrance, reflection, and community. Whether releasing a butterfly in honor of a loved one or gathering for breakfast on International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, these moments create space for healing and hope.
ISSLD
Held annually in November, this special breakfast coincides with International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day. It’s a time for survivors to connect, share stories, and support one another in a compassionate, understanding space.
Bear Event
Our Remembrance Bear gatherings offer suicide loss survivors a hands-on way to honor their loved ones. Participants create or receive a bear as a comforting keepsake, symbolizing enduring love and remembrance.
Butterfly Event
Each summer, we gather to release butterflies in a symbolic and healing tribute to our loved ones lost to suicide. This serene event allows space for remembrance, reflection, and collective hope.
