Effect of Suicide to Our Friends, Family, and even to our Loved One When one of our friends, family or our loved one commit suicide, (we call ourselves as a suicide survivor) And the suicide survivor will have a great sadness, disappointment, even anger. The suicide survivor can get mental illness as well because of the great loss from the friends, family, or loved one that commit suicide. Even the suicide survivor can commit suicide as well.
