It can be difficult to create a meaningful life after loss from suicide. This paper presents key results from a research project that generated knowledge about the needs for psychosocial support among older adults bereaved by suicide, and how to develop scalable postvention interventions. This was a co-operative inquiry where older adults bereaved by suicide, professionals, and researchers collaborated in all phases of the research. The project included a qualitative interview study and co-creation of interventions. The older adults’ psychosocial needs were related to interactions with professionals, family, social network and peers, and to processing the new life condition. A pamphlet, a clinical guide, two educational programs and three movies were co-created to meet these needs. The interventions were to a certain extent disseminated, adapted and used. However, a more widespread implementation would require a long-lasting organizational effort.
