Too often people suffering the aftermath of a suicide suffer alone. As the survivor of a person who has ended his or her own life, you are left a painful legacy -- and not one that you chose. Healing After the Suicide of a Loved One will help you take the first steps toward healing. While each individual becomes a suicide survivor in his or her own way, there are predictable phases of pain that most survivors experience sooner or later, from the grief and depression of mourning to guilt, rage, and despair over what you have lost. You may be torturing yourself with repetitive questions such as "What if...?" "Why didn't we...?" and "Why, why, why?" Healing After the Suicide of a Loved One will steer you away from this all-too-common tendency to blame yourself and will put you on the path to healing and recovery. Remember, your wounds can heal and you can recover. Filled with case studies, excellent information, valuable advice, and a completely up-to-date reading list and directory of suicide support groups nationwide, this valuable book will give you the strength and hope to go on living.

Summary: Grieving sister
Comment: My sister killed herself two days ago and I am so lost and heartbroken. I went looking for a book to help me get through the pain. This book was not helpful. It seems like the author is trying to educate you on the subject of suicide rather than help you deal with it. I dont want to read a book full of other peoples stories. I am living my own nightmare I dont need to hear about other people's horrible experiences. It tells you the normal symptoms a suicide survivor experiences and tells you that they are normal, so what. I dont need to be told its normal to have nightmares, I need to know what to do about it. This book might be better for someone who lost someone several years ago and wants some things explained to them, but for someone experiencing a recent death this book does not offer any comfort, I am returning it.

Summary: Healing After the Suicide of a Loved One
Comment: This book was well written and very sensitively written.The whole topic of suicide is often left and not talked about.This book really helped me and my family and knowing others have gone through the same nightmare and survived, is also helpful.I would recommend this book to anyone suffering loss.

Summary: Suprisingly frank
Comment: To write a book with a subject of this magnatude is diffucult as there are so many variables that are unique in each suicide case. I was able to indentify mine, and learn from others. This book, or any like it, will not cure your pain, but will open the door of understanding. Worth the read.
Customer Rating:
Summary: not as good as some other books
Comment: Helpful but general - to simplistic. I thought No Time to Say Goodbye was much better written. Maybe because the author lived through this hell herself.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Helpful
Comment: This is a wonderful book...it was very helpful in helping me understand why someone would take their own life. It helped me understand that what I was feeling was very normal. I recommend this book to anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide.
