Grieving a Suicide

A Loved One's Search for Comfort, Answers, and Hope

About this book

A 2003 Finalist in the United Kingdom Christian Book Awards

"Albert," the neighbor said, "your mom needs you to come home."

That's how it began for Albert Hsu when his father died. Anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide experiences tremendous shock and trauma. What follows is a confusing mix of emotions—anger, guilt, grief, and despair.

Suicide raises heartrending questions:

Why did this happen?

Why didn't we see it coming?

Could we have done anything to prevent it?

How can we go on?

Many also wonder if those who choose suicide are doomed to an eternity separated from God and their loved ones. Some may even start asking whether life is worth living at all.

After his father's death, Hsu wrestled with the intense emotional and theological questions surrounding suicide. While acknowledging that there are no easy answers, he draws on the resources of the Christian faith to point suicide survivors to the God who offers comfort in our grief and hope for the future.

For those who have lost a loved one to suicide and for their counselors and pastors, this book is an essential companion for the journey toward healing. This revised edition incorporates updated statistics and now includes a discussion guide for suicide survivor groups.
