"the best book I've ever read on suicide, and only one I came across that seemed to know what they were talking about - other books can be very academic and theoretical. Lots of personal stories, and clear and compasionate explanations about different stages of this very different grief; great at understanding and breaking the isolation.
I read it first about 10 years ago, and it was a huge help, and I bought many copies for friends and people I came across who were also devistated by their own bereavement through suicide. I've re-read it many times since...."

"In December my 43 yr. old Mother comitted suicide. Words cannot describe the shock, guilt and loss one feels. I certainly know that I have never felt anything that painful. I don't have any siblings so it fell on me to make all of the arrangements and to try to somehow sort this out. This book explained everything I was feeling was 'okay' and 'normal' from the sleep loss to the nightmares to the guilt I feel every single day. It continuously helps me feel not so alone. The hardest part is that due to the nature of my Mom's death I am very hesitant to talk about it which does, in my opinion, limit the greiving process. I looked for books about this topic at my local bookstores and couldn't find much, KUDOS to Amazon.com for having such a wide selection and to the author for providing insight and comfort in my time of need. I recommend this book as a must read for survivor's of suicide."
