must have for survivors

By Thriftbooks.com User, September 19, 2006

I am so thankful that I found this book! My Husband, a vibrant, successful, hansome United States Marine took his own life a year and a half ago. How could someone who had so much to live for do such a thing? How could he leave us? What was he thinking? Why didn't I see it coming? In a desperate search for answers I read, talked, and listened. When I read Dying To Be Free, Many Of my questions were answered and I began...

Good Book

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 5, 2006

This book has helped us to understand, as much as possible, what our son's mind was like when he died from suicide. My husband and I read the book when it first came out and found that we were reading about our son! We could totaly relate to the information given. Our son died in Oct. 2005. This book will not take away the pain we are feeling, but it has helped us to deal with it. I highly recommend the book!

It is everything that someone would need to know if they had experienced losing someone to suicide or even knew someone who had lost someone to suicide. It is simple to understand yet so full of information. So many books I have read on suicide are full of information but use language that is too psychological for anyone not in the field to truly understand...
