Suicide Intervention and Prevention
This book is the best primer I have read in my 27 years as a survivor of suicide loss. It is rich in its breadth and scope of the complexities of dealing with loss of a loved one, friend or colleague to suicide loss. It provides education and practical suggestions for the healing journey, while acknowledging the wide range of experience in the grief journey. This book is realistic and practical and left me with such a wonderful sense of hope in dealing with suicide loss. I want every survivor of suicide loss and every person supporting a survivor to have this book.

Absolutely the best book we have read on suicide loss. We are approaching the one year anniversary of our son's death. This book was the most helpful out of the many books we have read (over 30), and it addresses almost every possible question one could have after such a terrible loss. It gives succinct answers, does not moralize, and gives lists of additional helpful resources.
