Circle of Sorrow: Grieving After Losing a Child to Suicide - Paperback

Losing a child from any cause is heartbreaking and life-changing, but losing a child to suicide carries unique aspects, among them guilt, shame, bewilderment, and stigma. Circle of Sorrow provides a glimpse into the heart-wrenching journey of grief thrust upon parents when a child takes his or her own life. Although directed especially toward parents, this book is also a valuable resource for other family members and friends, as well as pastors, counselors, and physicians, covering such topics as The Unforgivable Sin, stigma, the physical toll on the bodies of those going through intense grief, and whether our children can communicate with us from beyond. Written from a first-person perspective, in this book the author offers insights into how she navigated the many foreign aspects of grief and the myriad of practical matters that dropped onto her shoulders after the death of her son. Leaning consistently on her faith in Christ, she finds hope even in grief.
