Abstract
Tells the story, from the perspective of an eleven-year-old boy, Alex, and his family, as they are rocked by suicide and reeling from the aftermath. Through Alex?s eyes, the reader will see the transformation of feelings after going through a suicide.
New to the third edition, each chapter ends with Alex reflecting 10 years later on his experience, introducing family and friends in his recollections. *Barbara Rubel has combined modern academic theories of grieving and then translated them into a readable story. The revised edition is an evidence-informed and contemporary treatment of a devastating form of loss that uses a hypothetical case study to render it in human terms. Through the story, the reader understands what suicide might be like for a family, how to make meaning in the loss, and ways to experience personal growth. *This self-help book was revised to provide guidance for clinicians (e.g., mental health providers, social workers, psychologists, school counselors, case managers) and families to help suicide loss survivors.
Part 1 offers a basic understanding of suicide postvention, suicide loss survivors, complicated grief, mourning theories, and the impact on clinician survivors. Chapters have been updated, based on mourning models and the latest research.
The chapters in Part 2 build upon one another sequentially, from the day of the suicide to the anniversary. At the end of each chapter, there are follow-up questions to explore in counseling sessions, support groups, therapy sessions, or at home. Also, at the end of each chapter, Alex, at the age of 21, reflects back on how his father?s death has changed his life, wounding him, but also helping him to grow.
