Surviving
Guided by certified crisis counselor Lisa Sugarman's expert hand, Surviving is an authentic, loving resource for those seeking to understand and heal from losing a loved one to suicide.
Suicide is a growing epidemic, with a staggering rate of 700,000 deaths per year globally. And for every suicide, an average of 135 people are directly impacted. That means that worldwide an estimated 94 million people have lost someone to suicide and are struggling to navigate the aftermath: loss, grief, unanswered questions, and how to move forward. Drawing on her experience as a three-time survivor of suicide loss who has turned her pain into purpose, crisis counselor Lisa Sugarman offers a new resource that is raw, deeply personal, and practical.
Far from a clinical self-help book, Surviving: Finding Hope after Suicide Loss not only invites readers into the intimate and poignant reality of suicide loss but offers tangible tools from Sugarman's comprehensive 18-category mental health resources directory, The HelpHUB™. From managing grief and overcoming mental health challenges to moving forward and rebuilding, this gentle resource is for anyone seeking to understand and heal from losing someone to suicide. It's an essential read for survivors, mental health advocates, and anyone touched by the ripple effects of suicide. Survival is possible, and support is always within reach.
