This small,easy to read, factual book was such a help when we recently lost our daughter to suicide... it was not complicated or hard to read.It is a book that i will highly recomend to others and i will also send to other suicide survivor parents as many times as i can.

Adina Wrobleski describes everything emotion I have felt since the suicide of my fourteen year old daughter. I had to need to find out that all the feelings I had was "normal" and Adina has done that in this book. A must read for any parent who is a suicide survivor of a child.

Little more than pamphlet size, there is valuable information and comforting answers in this book. Very useful as an introduction for denser books of meaning, like "Dying to be Free" or "Why Suicide" for someone who has just become "a survivor."

This is a small booklet, just the right size, to give to someone newly grieving the loss of a child to suicide.

It doesn't matter if your child was a teenager or an adult, the feelings of loss of a child to suicide are the same. This is a very good basic book to help deal with a lot of the emotions that the parents go through. The small size makes it a good choice as a first help, as after such a terrible loss, the mind just can't concentrate very long at a time.

We lost our 29 year old son to suicide 2 years ago and I still pick up this book and read it occasionally. I have bought several of these to give to newly grieving parents.

I would call this a "pamphlet" as opposed to a book but the most maddening thing about it is that there are typos in the book. I was going to give the book to a family member but I refuse to do that when there are typos in there. Call me small minded for saying so but the typos in the book were too distracting for me to appreciate the "pamphlet's" content. The book has been revised a couple times, why wouldn't the editor have caught this? I can't understand that.

I read the pamphlet, but mainly I wanted to pass it on to a friend whose 27 yr old daughter suicided. A book that got closer to what I was looking for is called: "The Eagle and The Rose" by Rosemary Altea. It supported at an emotional level that there is live after death and my friend would see his daughter again.

I was disappointed . Not at the content,although there were alot of typos but mostly because this is not a book but a pamphlet. This would be something consistant with material that would be distibuted through a support group for survivors...for free.The shipping cost was more than the pamphlet,total cost being 7.24. Had I known that I would have selected something a little more substantial...like a BOOK.
