Product Description
DIVStatistics show that there is one suicide every 16.1 minutes, and thus, six new survivors of that suicide every 16.1 minutes. In this deeply moving but also practical book, authors Judy Zoints Fox and Mia Roldan share the results of their survey of children of a parental suicide. Exploring the ways their lives have been affected and addressing the emotional, psychological, and physical effects, daughters and sons of all ages #8212; from children to adolescents to adults #8212; reveal their reactions. The authors link these responses to the insights of therapists, clergy, a criminal investigator, and others #8212; friends, classmates, work colleagues, relatives #8212; as they discuss what is helpful to suicide survivors and what is not. IVoices of Strength/I helps survivors make sense of life's least understandable act and shows them how to heal by focusing on comfort, memories, recovery, and hopes for a productive future./DIV

Thoughtful and Useful Book October 15, 2008

Voices of Strength, Sons and Daughters of Suicide Speak Out fills a void in the literature available for the survivor of suicide community. As a 15 year survivor of my father's suicide, I found this book revealing as I learned new things myself from the commonalities and experiences of others described. The survivor stories, combined with practical and professional input from both Judy and Mia and others make this book a great resource for a diverse audience including survivors, families, friends, mental health professionals, medical professionals and anyone with an interest in learning more. I strongly recommend it.

Exceptional Resource for Survivors of a Parent's Suicide October 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Having read many books on the subject of suicide since my mother's suicide over 19 years ago, I can say, without hesitation, that "Voices of Stength" is an exceptional resource. I was particularly touched by the multi-dimensional and comprehensive treatment of the experiences shared by surviving sons and daughters. I noted so many parallels in the tender feelings that I experienced and continue to experience at times. It is also heart-warming to know, as Mia and Judy have so ably demonstrated, that we can not only heal from our grief, but also thrive and live with joy again!

This is the first book I have found in 10 years of research that is truly helpful for people of all ages who have lost a parent or parents to suicide. There are wonderful books for parents who have lost children, and adults who have lost spouses; however, this book is the first of its kind. I highly recommend it for survivors, therapists, clergy and anyone who has a survivor in their life.

Very honest personal accounts of how parent suicide changed lives forever. A subject that is not often spoken about or understood.
