Abstract: This study examines the vital but underexplored role of self-healing in postvention efforts for suicide loss survivors (SLS) in Indonesia. We investigate the perspectives of Indonesian SLS and grief support providers (GSP) on self-healing's role in managing grief. Through in-depth interviews with 31 participants (16 SLS and 15 GSP), reflexive thematic analysis reveals both shared and divergent views. Our study developed three main themes: (1) Redefining self-healing, (2) Disconnectedness following loss, and (3) Reestablishing connection. The first theme shows both groups viewing self-healing as an intentional and dynamic process of confronting pain, and the latter themes highlight its role in restoring connections disrupted by suicide loss—spanning self, social, and spiritual dimensions. The findings offer practical implications for mental health professionals, policymakers, and support networks, promoting a more compassionate approach to post-suicide grief in Indonesia.
