Standing in the Shadow: Help and Encouragement for Suicide Survivors

Rating:
Summary: activities most helpful
Review: A lighter weight book for survivors. I found the activities she suggested to be helpful in helping me sleep at night, rid myself of some thoughts of guilt, and move forward with my life. I did find it to be religious (Christian) which didn't help me as much as Carla Fine's book, No Time to Say Goodbye. It was not judgemental however. It's openminded and offered me some comfort. Easy to read in one sitting.

Summary: generalizations and bible studies
Review: the author has not survived the suicide of a loved one. it shows. she talks about how someone looks nice and color coordinates her outfits. she talks about suicide and relates stories of the loss of a limb. she quotes the bible. the book is very short and gave me not a bit more hope. Don't waste your money - the book available free online from suicidology is much better. If you want to spend money - Carla Fine's book is much better - the best I've found.
From a bereaved survivor who doesn't need to be told how to color coordinate.
