No Time To Say Goodbye: Surviving the Suicide of a Loved One
I found this book to be extroadinarily helpful. My husband took his life a year ago. After he suicided, I started reading every thing I could find about suicide. This book expressed every emotion that I have felt. It touched me. The book helped me to realize that my emotions, anger and grief were normal and felt by other survivors. I was not alone in what I was going through. I found No Time To Say Goodbye so moving that I have given away about 20 copies to friends and family. If you want to know what a suicide survivor is feeling, how they are coping then this book is a must read.

A suicide support group in a hard cover.
In a frantic attempt to understand the sudden suicide of my brother, I read numerous suicide related titles. Carla Fine's "No Time to Say Goodbye : Surviving the Suicide of a Loved One" was the only book which in anyway connected with my raw feelings as a survivor. It's not a great academic study of suicide. The professional, academic titles are painfully remote, inaccurate and inadequate from a survivor's perspective. "No Time to Say Goodbye:" doesn't answer the only question that matters most to survivors, "Why?". It provides a supporting context for the horrendous assault on a survivor's emotional and intellectual resources following a loved one's suicide. Knowing that others feel the same things doesn't make the pain go away, but reassures that probably you too will survive what feels unbearable. I personally found this book more helpful that the visits to "professional" counselors. Some things in life have to be experienced, not studied, to be understood. Sadly the author has the painful real life credentials to understand and connect with survivors. From her own traumatic loss Carla Fine has provided a great measure of help in what appears to be a helpless situation.

Highly Recommended
If you are a survivor of suicide or know someone that has lost a loved one to a suicide, this book will let you know that you are not alone. It tells many individual stories but also the author ties in her own experience losing her husband to suicide. Also if you need help consoling someone who has been through suicide I recommend this book. I myself am a survivor this book comforted me. Similar Products
