Customer Reviews

Best written book I've read on the subject of suicide.

This book is truly different from the usual books written about suicide. It not a book about statistics nor a book about the religious issues surrounding the suicide of a loved one. Dr. Williams provides insight for the surviving loved ones to understand the "Cry of Pain" our loved ones felt. It is the only book that brought me some TRUE understanding about my own husband's suicide. This book is helpful in dealing with the full range of emotions families are left to cope with for years to come. I still re-read it regularly and receive new benefits as I pass through different stages of coping.
