I recently lost a loved one to suicide. I’ve been struggling and finally choose to read a book about it and I’m so glad I read this one. I have processed my grief differently from others in my family which has made me feel very scared and alone. The author unpacks the feelings of guilt, shame, stigma, sadness, panic attacks, self isolation and fear after a suicide which was extremely validating and helpful for me. Most moving is the ending where he talks about using the tragedy as a force for good which brought tears to my eyes.
“Good can come out of the most devastating tragedies. We can be a part of this. We can think about, look for, and find ways to use this loss as motivation for living with more purpose and meaning than ever before. If we’re willing, death can teach us to live. Live now. Say what we need to say, now. Do what we need to do, now. Death strips us to our core and reminds us that people are what really matters. Relationships are what life is all about. We’ve gained wisdom through all this, though we may not be aware of it. We can pass that wisdom along by sharing our story. We can find other suicide grievers and support one another in meaningful ways. We can join with others in finding ways to make a difference. Grief turned to good is good grief indeed.”
