Surviving and Healing After a Suicide: a Pastoral Perspective (IN: Clergy Response to Suicidal Persons and Their Family Members, edited by D C Clark)

A pastor discusses the suicide of his teenager daughter & explains what the experience has taught him about grief after suicide. He examines modern-day stigma & ostracism, the progression of grief & how it differs from grief after a natural death, final acceptance, fears & feelings of guilt & anger, and the search for meaning.
