Winding Road: A Handbook for Those Supporting the Suicide Bereaved
The journey after the suicide of a loved one is winding, always changing. For the people who want to support the bereaved, or are asked to support the bereaved (professional or volunteer), it can be difficult to understand that winding road, especially because of the stigma that suicide traditionally has held with it. Michelle Linn-Gust, Ph.D., and John Peters, M.Suicidology, have both traveled their own winding roads and now look to teach others in a global perspective not yet seen. Winding Road: A Handbook for Supporting the Suicide Bereaved discusses a myriad of issues around the topic from why suicide happens to helping children cope and how culture and religion take a role in how suicide and suicide grief are viewed. Mostly though, the book offers hope that the people who are supporting the bereaved can help understand the winding road so the bereaved don't have to travel it alone.
