"How to Survive a Loved One's Suicide",

Here's how one client experienced the approaches
I share with you in this book:

This young woman had been estranged from her father, and one day got a call from police notifying her of his death. It turns out she was the designated next of kin.

She was surprised that she had such an intense emotional response, given that they had not been that close. She journeyed to the state where her father had lived and had to view the room where her father had suicided.

The scene was horrific and she was still having nightmares and flashbacks of what she saw when she came to see me.

In just a few sessions, she had reduced her physical reaction to the memory so that she could talk about it without feeling the intense chest pressure and stomach tightness that she had been carrying all these years.

(the technique we used here was the 'tell the story' technique using Emotional Freedom Techniques^TM (EFT).)

Relationship and trust are foundational to effective grief recovery after suicide. My clients tell me that I have a gift for developing trust, and my office feels like a warm and inviting safe place to share.

This is what I want to convey in my suicide grief book.

I share this client's experience to show how important a blend of knowledge, experience and compassion are to the results my clients have received.

The tips and techniques I detail for you in my book are based on these successes. I've used these therapy and support strategies and I know that they really work.

The information in this suicide grief ebook has never been put together in this particular way, combining suicide facts and statistics, prevention strategies and recovery helps. And I've shared it all here.

"How to Survive a Loved One's Suicide" is your complete, step-by-step success guide to achieving healthy grief recovery.

You retain a respectful view of the life of your loved one rather than a focus on the details of the death. You don't have to wonder what to say, what to do, what is normal grief and when you need to get professional help.

The Nine Basic Needs of the Grieving

Child or Adolescent

This suicide grief ebook identifies nine basic needs for younger populations:

1. Fair and honest handling of questions (opportunity for informed choice)

Children and adolescents deserve the same respect as adults in terms of receiving factual, unbiased grief resource information. They need this to make informed decisions and process traumatic or distressing news.

2. Age appropriateness of explanation

It does little good, and probably some harm, to overload children with information in a time of crisis. As with any of us, their ability to absorb it is decreased with stress. Small amounts of accurate grief resource information, presented with care, will help to prevent further trauma.

3. Respect for the child's personhood

This bears repeating because it is so important to avoid a paternalistic or condescending approach. The fact that a child or adolescent is young is not an indication that he is unable to grasp the meaning of the event. It just needs to be phrased in words and thoughts he can follow.

4. Consistency

It is useful for the adults or other support persons to be consistent in their approach. This suicide grief ebook shows you how.

There is a tendency to over-commit and overwhelm the griever in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy.

Abbreviated contact that can be sustained over time is more supportive. Many people will flock to the family at the time of death, particularly when it is a traumatic situation such as suicide. As you will find in this suicide grief ebook, this does not necessarily constitute a healthy grief resource!

During the weeks and months that follow, however, there is a scarcity of friends and family willing to hear what the grievers need to say.

5. Direct and clear communication

Again, it is important to be honest and direct. Denial of feelings, or difficulty in dealing with certain issues may result in superficial communication. This is an important issue since children and teens will be very sensitive to topics that are treated as 'taboo'.

6. Tolerance for emotional response

Familiarity with the normal range of emotional and physical reactions to grief will help the grief resource support person to be most comforting. It provides security for the grieving child or adolescent to be treated with a matter-of-fact, calm response, regardless of their emotional distress.

7. Physical and emotional safety

It is the responsibility of the adult or older person to assure that there is a safe environment in which to express these reactions.

My suicide grief ebook shows the many considerations which impact the manner in which a griever behaves. These include cultural, gender-based, age-related, and lifestyle-related beliefs and practices.

Judgmental, critical comments have no place in the role of the person who would be a grief resource. As long as the child or teen is not presenting harm to himself or others, he must be allowed to react freely to his distress.

8. Dependability

Common courtesy and good parenting both dictate that promises are to be kept. This is important to consider in the case of grieving persons of all ages. There are memory and concentration difficulties associated with the grieving process in addition to feelings of abandonment and loneliness.

It is much kinder to set limits on the promises made than to make promises only to break them.

9. Firm interpersonal boundaries established and maintained by the grief resource support person.

The grieving child or teen is extremely vulnerable. He deserves the security of knowing his own physical and emotional boundaries will be honored and protected by a mature helping person.
