Losing a son to suicide: A poetic journey through grief

By Randall L Stepp

When you lose a child to suicide, there are questions that may never have answers.

How do you live with the silence?

How do you make sense of the guilt, anger, heartbreak, loneliness, and endless questions that follow?

And how do you find a way to keep living while still carrying the love you have for the child you've lost?

In Losing a Son to Suicide: A Poetic Journey Through Grief, Randall Stepp shares the deeply personal journey that followed the suicide of his 15-year-old son, Brandon.

Through poetry, reflection, and raw emotion, Stepp gives voice to the thoughts and feelings that can be difficult-even impossible-to put into words after such a devastating loss.

These poems speak to the emptiness of an absent child, the questions that have no answers, the memories that refuse to fade, and the struggle to move forward without ever leaving a loved one behind.

This is not a book about forgetting.

It is about remembering.

It is about love that continues after death.

And it is about finding a way to take the next step when life has been forever changed.

For parents who have lost a child to suicide, for families navigating suicide loss, and for anyone trying to understand the unimaginable pain of losing someone they love, these poems offer an honest and deeply personal companion through the darkest places of grief.

You do not have to have the right words.

Sometimes, it is enough to know that someone else has been there too.
