This is a book for and about suicide survivors - those who have been left behind by the suicide of a friend or loved one. It draws on the authors’ own experiences, and expertise, as well as those of numerous others. The authors presents information on common experiences of bereavement, grief reactions and various ways of coping. Their message is that it is important to share one's experience with others. They encourage survivors to overcome the perceived stigma or shame associated with suicide and to seek support - from self-help groups, counselling, therapy, Internet support forums or simply a friend or family member who will listen. Silent Grief gives valuable insights into living in the wake of suicide and provides useful strategies and support for those affected by a suicide, as well as professionals in the field of psychology, social work, and medicine.

This book addresses the issues every family must face following the trauma of suicide. The author is a long-time children’s bereavement counsellor and psychotherapist, and she offers pathways through the despair, confusion and fear that follow. Starting with the haunting tale of her own mother’s suicide, Requarth weaves together her experience counselling ‘survivors’ – poignant interviews with children, teens and parents – and the latest research on suicide and its aftermath. What emerges is a groundbreaking how-to guide for parent survivors and others who care for young people – how to manage both the immediate and long-term implications of the suicide, how to talk to children and teens about what has happened and how to see them through the heart-rending anguish to a place of acceptance, healing and, finally, a renewed and deepened capacity for joy.
