HUGG HEALING UNTOLD GRIEF GROUPS COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

HUGG Healing Untold Grief Groups Company Limited By Guarantee is Ireland's national suicide bereavement organisation, dedicated to supporting anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide. By offering a lifeline of understanding and compassion, HUGG helps the bereaved navigate the complex emotions that follow a suicide loss, reducing the heightened risk of further suicidal behaviour that research shows can be ten times greater than in the general population.

The core of HUGG's work is its peer-led suicide bereavement support groups, facilitated by trained volunteers who have lived experience of suicide loss. In addition, the organisation provides a wealth of resources-including articles, webinars, and a curated library of books-to educate and empower families and friends. HUGG also runs public events, advocacy campaigns, and research initiatives aimed at improving post-vention services across the country. For those wishing to give back, opportunities exist to volunteer, fundraise, or plant a flower in the Memory Meadow, a symbolic space that helps sustain and expand the support network.

Through these services, HUGG creates a community of hope and healing, ensuring that no one has to face suicide bereavement alone.
