In this study, the researcher utilized qualitative type of research specifically in phenomenological approach to delve into the lived experiences of a family member to gain a comprehensive understanding of their perspectives. Additionally, purposive sampling was used to select participants who had relevant knowledge and experiences ensuring appropriate and comprehensive data as participants were deliberately chosen based on specific criteria. The results revealed that family members undergo a variety of grieving process and often resort to escape from it by engaging in reckless behavior or withdrawal from their usual activities. These results hold significant implications, emphasizing the necessity for tailored support programs to address the unique needs of individuals bereaved by suicide. These underscore the importance of recognizing and comprehensively understanding the complexities of grief experienced by these individuals. Such insights can serve as a valuable reference for future researchers highlighting the need to develop and implement support programs that effectively cater to the emotional and physiological needs of those affected by suicede loss. The researchers have developed an infomercial program that delves into the profound journey of transformation experienced by family members following the tragic loss of a loved one to suicide. This infomercial sensitively portrays the emotional trajectory individuals undergo, from the initial shock and confusion to eventually finding solace through various avenues such as support networks, programs, and therapeutic interventions. Moreover, this output seeks to increase awareness of available programs designed specifically to aid those grappling with the aftermath of suicide loss. These programs offer invaluable opportunities for individuals to share their stories, connect with others who have endured similar experiences, and alleviate the sense of isolation often felt during the grief journey. By fostering a sense of community and understanding, these initiatives provide a supportive environment where individuals can navigate their grief with compassion and solidarity.
