Customer Reviews

Highly Recommended for ANY Survivor

I recently lost my Mom to suicide. Before this experience, I had little to no knowledge of suicide. This book has helped me tremendously with the many questions, emotions, feelings, thoughts, and basic understanding of such a horrific experience. Losing my Mom is hard enough, but this book has opened my eyes to understanding the many other emotions that have come my way. Carla provides first hand insight, and Dr. Myers gives medical insight. Both provide guidence and open the door to healing. Thank you for this book.
