From the chief medical correspondent of ABC News, an eloquent,
heartbreaking, yet hopeful memoir of surviving the suicide of a
loved one, examining this dangerous epidemic and offering
first-hand knowledge and advice to help family and friends find
peace. Jennifer Ashton, M.D., has witnessed firsthand the impact of
a loved one's suicide. When her ex-husband killed himself soon
after their divorce, her world-and that of her children-was
shattered. Though she held a very public position with one of the
world's largest media companies, she was hesitant to speak about
the personal trauma that she and her family experienced following
his death. A woman who addresses the public regularly on intimate
health topics, she was uncertain of revealing her devastating
loss-the most painful thing she'd ever experienced. But with the
high-profile suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, Dr.
Ashton recognized the importance of talking about her experience
and the power of giving voice to her grief. She shared her story
with her Good Morning America family on air-an honest,
heartbreaking revelation that provided comfort and solace to
others, like her and her family, who have been left behind. In Life
After Suicide, she opens up completely for the first time, hoping
that her experience and words can inspire those faced with the
unthinkable to persevere. Part memoir and part comforting guide
that incorporates the latest insights from researchers and health
professionals, Life After Suicide is both a call to arms against
this dangerous, devastating epidemic, and an affecting story of
personal grief and loss. In addition, Dr. Ashton includes stories
from others who have survived the death of a loved one by their own
hand, showing how they survived the unthinkable and demonstrating
the vital roles that conversation and community play in recovering
from the suicide of a loved one. The end result is a raw and
revealing exploration of a subject that's been taboo for far too
long, providing support, information, and comfort for those
attempting to make sense of their loss and find a way to heal.
