The mother of a suicide victim shares her pain, guilt, anger, and psychiatric expertise to offer methods for healing, weaving her personal grief, pain, and anger with practical information on the normal reactions to suicide.This extraordinary book is that unusual combination of a work by a competent physician, who herself is a human victim in anguish, and who writes like a fierce angel with a fixed purpose. Edwin S. Shneidman, Ph.D., Professor of Thanatology Emeritus, UCLA
