A great support book/resource for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one due to suicide or who want to support those who have.

This MAY be a good resource for those with suicidal ideation, too, but honestly, probably not the best resource to calm ideation. I would suggest using your best judgement here and maybe read it yourself, first, before recommending to those in the throes of suicidal ideation.

The first portions of the book discuss all the “positives” to committing suicide that go thru the suicidal mind. I really don’t think I’d suggest this to someone with active suicidal ideation but maybe to someone who’s had a lot of growth, has a suicide safety plan and is determined to act on the safety plan, etc.

Awesome read, thanks

This helped me in understanding the psyche of the suicidal mind tremendously. It just confirmed and affirmed a lot of the questions I had and lack of understanding. I will definitely listen again.

Very informative
