| Jun 13, 2019 at 19:06 | comment | added | hszmv | tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/Suicide Is a good work for not only discussing a lay perspective on topics of suicide, but is written specifically for fiction writers looking to portray just about anything... the useful notes articles being specifically geared to factual matters of the topic that often get missed in a media portrayal. It's more a resource for what to consider in the story. Please note this is not vetted by anyone remotely claiming to be an expert, so be sure to follow up with other resources for research. Also it's TVTropes. You have been warned. | |

| May 17, 2019 at 15:37 | comment | added | Mikey | @NofP - The contemplation and completion of the suicides happen early on and I'm not too worried about the dialogue of the young people. Handling the narrative (as the author) in this fiction, I want to be updated in 2019 sensitivities in language, et al. The intended audience is young adult and adults and dealing with the grief is a sidebar to the overall narrative. I love all of the comments so far, thanks! | |

| May 16, 2019 at 17:25 | comment | added | Cyn | There are tons of online resources about suicide, all aimed at different sets of people (different ages, genders, sexual orientations, professions, ethnicity, etc). Plus if you go to your local library you'll find a big shelf full of books. There are often drop-in centers or, more often, general community resource centers with brochures and etc. If there's no one else there, you can chat with the staff if they're up for it. | |

| May 16, 2019 at 16:55 | comment | added | SFWriter | You can look at specific critiques of suicide-related programs and books (13 reasons, eg caught some flak) and compile a list of 'what not to do.' You can find other such programs and books that have been recognized for their appropriate treatment of the subject and use that as a 'good' guide. E.g. fivebooks.com/best-books/suicide-johanna-reiss If you plan to publish traditionally, you can ask for a sensitivity reader. | |
