From the Author
We who have lost a loved one to suicide are not alone.
My husband killed himself seven years ago. The overwhelming isolation made me feel I was totally alone and no one else could possibly understand what I was going through. Since then, I have spoken with hundreds of other survivors. There are many of us out there--I hope my book will break through the stigma of mourning in secrecy a person we have loved and lost to suicide. I have also included a list of suicide survivor support groups throughout the US and Canada. We who have been there share a singular bond. I hope you like my book. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: Practical help for survivors, 4 Sep 2006 By  John Coyle (Newport, South Wales) - See all my reviews    Bought for me by a thoughtful sister following the death of my son in June 2006, this was the first book I'd read on suicide. The stories in the book helped me (a) by helping me realise I am not alone in the thoughts and feelings I am having - and that, in itself, has been a comfort (b) by helping to clarify my thinking about my son's suicide - she captures some of the ideas I've been struggling with so well and (c) by providing insights and information (e.g. "A suicidal person is like a black hole of pain. You can give and give but you just can't fill it up".) I recommend it to survivors. But there is a down side. She luxuriates in high-flown language in her commentary and in the telling of her own story: for example, she can't describe the consulting room where her husband died in simple terms: it has to be "my husband's killing ground" - just excessive and self-indulgent; to much of "me, me, me" I feel. Thankfully, her telling of other people's stories is straightforward and it is in these you will find parallels with your own situation which is really helpful.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

The most comforting day since, was a day in August, of 2002, when I came across this book of Carla's. I read it - cover to cover - in a day. It was, quite possibly, the only time in 14 months, that I have felt someone else REALLY knew how crippling and debilitating the aftermath of suicide can be. Thank you, over and over, Carla!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I thought I was going out of my mind, I still do that. But thanks to this book, I now know that I'm not alone. Carla Fine is excellent in propelling her own feelings, coupled with other people's feelings who are going through the same difficult situation. I feel only gratitude for this book.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)
