There are many myths surrounding suicide. Historically, Australian society would prefer not to talk about it. However, we need to be educated on how people get to a place where they contemplate suicide as well as learning about what we can do to support and care for those who are hurting in this way.
¨Suicide claims a million lives a year. Each one leaves behind survivors shattered, grieving, angry, guilty and often despairing.
Albert Hsu is one such survivor. On an ordinary Thursday morning, he answered the phone and discovered that his father had taken his own life. For months and even years afterwards, he wrestled with intense emotional and spiritual questions. There were no easy answers. But he drew deeply from the resources of his Christian faith and the God who offers comfort and hope.
Whether you have lost a loved one to suicide or provide pastoral care to survivors, this book will be an essential companion on your journey.¨
