A Christian guide to grieving and healing after the suicide of a loved one, written from a personal perspective.
In Finding Peace After a Suicide Loss, Elaine Kennelly shares the story of her eighteen-year-old son’s tragic death, opening up about the shattering blow and immediate anguish. Written in a format of then and now, the book courageously tackles the spiritual battles which face every suicide survivor: guilt, shame, rejection, blame, and stigma. The book is also not afraid to ask the question, “Why God? Why?”
It took years for Elaine to start moving forward. Even then, her journey was made in baby-steps of love, prayer, forgiveness, obedience, and service. But there is victory to celebrate, as Finding Peace After a Suicide Loss shows the way to joy, real joy in a marriage that stays intact and a family that’s close at hand. Overcoming a suicide loss is possible — let Finding Peace After a Suicide Loss show you how.
