Marci lost her 20-year-old brother. Julie lost her 42-year-old husband. Bonnie lost her 16-year-old son. They all have one thing in common: losing a loved one to suicide, and facing a journey of intense heartache and a rollercoaster of emotions ranging from shock, anger, sadness, and disbelief to seeking understanding, healing, and hope.

Part of the award-winning Grief Diaries series offering a collection of true stories about a journey unlike any other, this book is a portable support group. Filled with answers to poignant questions, each writer invites readers into her world, and surrounds them with warmth, comfort and compassion as they set out to seek comfort and understanding in the aftermath of their own loss by suicide.
