An amazing bug get it a shot

I recently lost my best friend to suicide this book has helped me This book honestly helped me so much

I thought it was really insightful.

if someone has lost someone in this way; they will surely understand and relate very well to this.

Comforting

It is helpful to learn about this topic when you have lost a loved one. Makes you not feel alone.

Awesome read, thanks

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.

Very informative

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.

I'm not alone.

This was a wonderful resource in helping me seek understanding how I live after a suicide in my family. I love you so much Jenessa and miss you so very much.
