About After The Suicide Funeral: Wisdom On The Path To
Product Description After the Suicide Funeral: Wisdom on the Path to Posttraumatic Growth references the long and painful journey of bereavement that many suicide-loss-survivors experience in the wake of losing their loved one. A new area of positive psychology offers another vehicle for understanding the consequences of this experience by investigating the possibilities for personal growth within the context of this distressing and traumatic event. There is much to be mined by exploring faith as both a facilitator of growth and an outcome of growth. The contributors to this book are all suicide bereaved and have written short essays about how faith changed and grew as they traversed their journey of bereavement and also buoyed them in their darkest time of loss. Contributors are faith leaders, mental health professionals, caring survivors, and leaders in the fields of suicidology, thanatology, and bereavement. A must-read for any survivor of suicide loss. Review "Dr. Melinda Moore and Rabbi Dan Roberts have lived through suicide grief and have learned the best ways to help people who have experienced this trauma. With a variety of authors who have lived experiences with suicide, this book shows how people can experience posttraumatic growth and hope. Thank you for this book! It will become a regular addition to my reading list for new survivors of suicide loss." --Julie Cerel, director, Suicide Prevention & Exposure Lab, University of Kentucky "This book is about telling stories. Stories that are both painful and cathartic at the same time. Stories to learn from, for both professionals as they companion their clients, patients, and congregations, and most certainly for survivors themselves. Moore, Roberts, and the amazing contributors remind us that, at some point, survivors can move from coping and surviving to being transformed and thriving." --Ben Wolfe, founder, director and grief therapist (retired), St. Mary's Medical Center's Grief Support Center About the Author Melinda Moore, PhD, is an associate professor in the department of psychology at Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) in Richmond, Kentucky, and core faculty for the EKU Clinical Psychology doctoral program.
