Are you interested in a support group for parents of trans people who've died by suicide? 
The traumas that continue to be inflicted on the trans community in the UK and the US, such as the withdrawal of healthcare and removal of rights, plus my own regrets and questions, about how much more I could personally have done to ease Alice's transition, have complicated my grief immeasurably. Speaking to other parents can help us heal.
