Suicide: We Need to Talk About it

Suicides happen every second. That means someone loses a loved one, a spouse, an aunt, an uncle, a brother or sister, a son or daughter, or a parent in those seconds. People need spiritual guidance from experts who can help them answer their difficult questions. They might not verbalize it, but they wonder where their loved ones are. It is often assumed that suicide is an unforgivable sin, and the loved ones of the deceased are lost forever. Dr. Perchitti's book is not an all-encompassing look at suicide but rather a manual of hope—hope for people who have lost loved ones and for communities and churches as they seek to minister to and provide resources for those individuals. This book is unique because few spiritual resources are available to those who have lost a loved one to suicide.
