Three Live Online Workshops for Survivors of Suicide Loss
You don’t have to navigate the holidays alone.
The holidays can bring cherished memories, difficult expectations, and a deeper awareness of who is missing. You may want to celebrate, skip the season entirely, or feel differently from one moment to the next.
I created these workshops to offer compassionate support, practical tools, and connection with people who understand the complexity of suicide loss.
Each workshop has a different focus. Attend one, two, or all three—choose the support that feels right for you.
To protect attendees’ privacy, these workshops will not be recorded. Please plan to join live.

What to Expect
Each workshop blends practical teaching, guided practices, and connection with fellow survivors. I’ll guide you through approachable tools you can use during the holidays and beyond.
We’ll also explore post-traumatic growth—positive changes that some people experience as they navigate life after profound loss, such as deeper connections, new meaning, or greater trust in themselves. Growth can coexist with grief. There is no expectation to find a gift in your loss or turn your pain into a purpose.
Depending on the workshop’s focus, we may explore:
Somatic practices: Notice body sensations and explore gentle grounding, movement, and physical comfort.
Nervous system regulation: Recognize signs of stress and practice ways to feel more settled.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT, or tapping): Tap gently on specific points while acknowledging difficult thoughts and feelings.
Gentle breathwork: Explore comfortable breathing practices that may help ease tension.
Meditation: Bring compassionate attention to the present moment.
You don’t need experience with any of these tools. Every practice is optional, and you’re encouraged to adapt or pause whenever you need.
Connection With People Who Understand
During each workshop, we’ll spend 30 minutes in Zoom breakout rooms for small-group support, giving you time to connect with fellow survivors of suicide loss.
Being with others who understand this kind of loss can offer relief from having to explain or defend your grief. It’s an opportunity to feel heard, share what’s on your heart, and exchange ideas for navigating the holidays.
Sharing is always optional. You’re welcome to talk, listen, or simply be present. We’ll use gentle guidelines for respectful listening and ask everyone to honor one another’s privacy.
Honor Their Life. Carry Their Love.
We’ll close each workshop with a Living Legacy Ceremony™, a shared moment to honor the people we love and the lives they lived.
You’re invited to bring a photograph or meaningful object that reminds you of your loved one. Sharing is always optional.
Meet Your Guide: Jayne Madigan
I’m a 34-year survivor who has lost four loved ones to suicide. I know the ache of someone missing from the holiday table—and the complicated feelings that can come with finding yourself laughing or enjoying a moment again.
I also know that grief and joy can coexist. The practices I teach are tools I’ve used in my own life and shared with hundreds of clients to help them navigate life after loss.
As a Certified Neuropsychotherapist, Suicide Bereavement Clinician, and Master Emotional Freedom Techniques Practitioner, I bring professional training alongside a deeply personal understanding of suicide grief.
My approach is compassionate and practical. You don’t need to arrive feeling hopeful, know what to say, or share more than you want to. I’ll meet you where you are and help you explore ways to honor your loved one while caring for yourself.
