Customer Reviews

It answered a lot of questions

I found this book wery good, especially becouse now I know it's normal to feel the way I do after my mothers suicide.I found in it answer to every question I've asked since, and to many more. Eric Marcus thank you for this book, it has helped me a lot.

excellent resource

I completely disagree with the misspelled review above.I picked this book up in a physical bookstore today, and sat on the floor and read much of it. I found that it covered every question my friend (whose loved one committed suicide) is struggling with right now, and very thoroughly. The only reason I didn't buy that copy was that someone had gone through and underlined parts. Underlining a book in a bookstore? What's up with that? I guess, however, it was even helpful to that person who saw the book before me in the bookstore.I am thrilled to have discovered this book and am sending it directly to my friend. It is exactly the book I was looking for.
