Summary:
"
Suicide
would appear to be the last taboo. Even incest is now discussed freely in popular media, but the
suicide
of a
loved
one
is still an act most people are unable to talk about, or even admit to their closest family or friends. This is just
one
of the many painful and paralyzing truths author Carla Fine discovered when her husband, a successful young physician, took his own life December 1989. Being unable to speak openly and honestly about the cause of her pain made it all the more difficult for her to survive. She brings
suicide
survival from the darkness into light, speaking frankly about the overwhelming feelings of confusion, guilt, shame, anger, and loneliness that are shared by all survivors. Fine draws on her own experience and conversations with many other survivors, as well as on the knowledge of counselors and mental health professionals. She offers a strong helping hand and invaluable guidance to the vast numbers of family and friends who are left behind by the more than thirty thousand people who commit
suicide
each year, struggling to make sense of an act that seems to seem senseless, and to pick up the pieces of their own shattered lives. Perhaps, most important, for the first
time
in any book, she allows survivors to see that they are not alone in their feelings of grief and despair. Carla Fine is the author of Touched by
Suicide
: Hope and Healing After Loss; Strong, Smart, and Bold: Empowering Girls for Life; and Married to Medicine: An Intimate Portrait of Doctors' Wives. Visit her website at CarlaFine.com"--Provided by publisher.
