Trish and Peter Springsteen lost their son Craig to suicide in 2007. Of all the memories, the feelings, the confusion, and the grief that followed, there are two issues that have always been front and centre for Trish. One: Don't forget Craig - he was here for such a short time, only 23 years, so please remember him. And two: Trish realised that people found it hard to speak about suicide. Friends did not know what to say and those who have been left behind were unsure how to speak about their grief in a community that is still struggling with the stigma of suicide.
This book gives a space for 23 people who have been Forever Changed by Suicide to share their memories, their stories, their thoughts and information on suicide. If only one chapter resonates with you then our purpose and the reason for this book is achieved.
Read, digest, share and discuss.
Most importantly, remember.
"If you have ever been touched by suicide you need to read this book. Every perspective is included, every dynamic included. I hope that the healing that comes from sharing your story was felt by each of the authors." Larissa Russell Wellness Coach, specializing in Healing with Creativity
