On November 16, 1984, Sue Chance's son committed suicide. In this
vivid personal account of the aftermath of that event, she shares
her pain, guilt, and anger, her expertise as a psychiatrist, and
her methods for healing. With incredible power and honesty, she
speaks to other survivors of a loved one's suicide, as well as to
anyone who has ever contemplated suicide, weaving her personal
experience with practical information about "normal" reactions
among suicide survivors. For nine months following her son's death,
Dr. Chance kept a journal. Excerpts from that journal convey the
immediacy and intensity of her reactions and chronicle her steps
toward recovery. While rich in strategies for getting on with life,
the book does nothing to minimize the turmoil and searing grief
experienced by survivors. It is estimated that more than 200,000
people in the United States are added to the ranks of suicide
survivors each year. These individuals need the message of this
book to know that they are, indeed, stronger than death.
