This is a review for a novel called The Sudden Loss Survival Guide: Seven Essential Practices for Healing Grief (Bereavement, Suicide, for Readers of Together). I was sent a PDF in exchange for this review.
My daughter passed away unexpectdly in 2004 when she was hit by a car while crossing the street. Most days I believe I am healing and dealing with her death in a positive way.
Other days I don’t feel like I can go forward without Suzzane. This can happen because I see something that reminds me of her or I think about her. Or someone might mention something she would have liked.
This can cause me to sink into a deep depression and now with both of my parents passing and both of them being unexpected it’s gotten worse. I am always tired and just want to sleep.
The littlest things make me mad and I can go off on anyone in the blink of an eye. Most of the time I don’t want to be here but I don’t want to hurt myself because this would kill Charlie.
I fight to get get up everyday and to get dressed and to go on about my day. Working and homeschooling Charlie but I fail in so many ways that I wonder why David even stays with me.
As soon as I saw the press release for The Sudden Loss Survival Guide: Seven Essential Practices for Healing Grief (Bereavement, Suicide, for Readers of Together) I couldn’t wait to sit down and read the novel to see if it would be able to help me deal with the feelings I have been having.
After reading The Sudden Loss Survival Guide and using the tips in the book I no, longer feel like I am lost and can not get through the deaths of the people I love. I also haven’t felt as depressed and I know I will be okay.
