Losing a loved one. There is nothing worse to endure. As a survivor of my brother Bill's suicide, I intimately know the pain and confusion attached to loss and the immeasurable ways it changed my life. Going beyond the typical narratives on the five stages of grief, religion or counseling, this book shares those "ordinary" moments in my life that moved my healing forward, be they relationships, synchronistic moments, or even my love of surfing. My hope is that they help you identify the key moments throughout your life and propel your own healing forward.
Reviewing this particular book is difficult since I knew the author and his brother Bill. However Mike gives the reader insight into not only surviving the suicide of a family member, but more importantly continuing to live life. I will be recommending this book to friends grieving the loss of a loved one from suicide and to counselors and clergy.
