Where Tears Come From: Surviving Suicide - Paperback

When Wolfgang Axel first met the woman who would eventually become his wife, he could see she was beautiful, reserved, and genuine. Erika had been seeking a Christian man who could understand her complicated past, recognize her as a survivor, and support her in always putting the needs of her children above her own. It was not long before Wolfgang knew he had fallen in love with an angel. In a candid retelling of his relationship with Erika and others he has met along the way, Wolfgang shares the story of how their love grew into marriage and then how her lifelong battle with depression eventually prompted her to end her life. As he discloses how he suddenly became a member of a club no one wants to join, Wolfgang leads others down a path through his experiences as he bravely faced his monumental loss, walked through the pain of grief, sorted through the damage left behind, and sought strength from God. Throughout his memoir, Wolfgang reminds others that there is purpose in survival, beauty in resilience, and hope in every heartbeat. Where Tears Come From is the true story of a faithful man's experiences through love, loss, and grief as he learned that God always transforms shattered pieces into something whole.
