Contributing to the literature and being able to understand how the bereavement processes of people shaped who experience the grief after suicide are the purposes of the systematic review. Accordingly, it was decided to include quantitative studies with comparative groups in order to understand whether these people are in the risk group or not, and qualitative studies to understand the grieving process in deeply. International databases were searched and 24 studies were included in the systematic review. The Prisma chart of the review and the summary of the studies are presented with the tables. According to the findings, it can be stated that the bereavement process of people who experience the grief process after suicide is shaped in a different way. The existence of factors such as the lack of social support mechanisms, the risk of stigmatization, the risk of self-harming behaviors can be considered in the context of differences. Points to be considered about the bereavement process of people who have experienced a post-suicide grief and suggestions for this grief process are given in the discussion and conclusion part of the study.
