Shari's Light: A Companion of Hope and Healing for Parents Grieving a Child's Suicide

How do you survive the unthinkable, the loss of a child to suicide? Shari's Light offers no clich s, no quick fixes, only compassion, honesty, and the gentle reminder that you are not alone.

Written by Michael Gillette, a father and grandfather who has lived this reality, this book is not a manual or a cure. It is a companion. A hand on your back when the nights are long. A voice that says gently: You are not alone.

Inside, you'll find:

Validation of every feeling: guilt, anger, numbness, even moments of relief, reminding you they are all part of love expressed through grief.Practical "Scripts & Safety" words and tools: for the most challenging moments, from funeral arrangements to answering painful questions when you step back into the world. These tools will equip you, making you feel prepared for the difficult journey ahead.Guidance for the milestones that ache most: birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries that cut deeper than words.Support for families: navigating marriage under strain, helping siblings and grandchildren, and honoring the differences in how each person grieves.Spiritual space for every journey: whether your faith feels shattered, strengthened, or absent altogether.Encouragement to carry their light forward: not by "moving on," but by weaving love into memory, ritual, and daily life. This emphasis on love and remembrance will bring you comfort and a sense of connection.

More than a grief book, Shari's Light is a compassionate companion for parents, grandparents, siblings, and families walking through suicide loss. It offers honesty without judgment, hope without pressure, and comfort without clich . This reiteration of the book's purpose will make you feel understood and supported.

If you are searching for a grief support book that understands the unique pain of suicide loss, or if you love someone who is grieving and longs to understand their world, Shari's Light offers solace, practical wisdom, and the reminder that your love and your child's light still matter.

For every parent who has ever whispered, "I don't know how to go on," this book was written for you.
