SURVIVING SUICIDE BEREAVEMENT

Twenty years ago, Brendan McManus SJ suffered the most devastating blow that can befall a family, when he lost his brother Donal to suicide. He subsequently wrote Surviving Suicide Bereavement where he offered advice on the complex suicide grief process and what he personally found helpful for survival, adaptation and thriving. This book struck a chord, with many readers finding support and comfort in the text and the booklet became a bestseller, but has been out of print for two years. This revised edition of the popular booklet, has additional reflection points and a linking of the grief recovery process to the help and guidance available in Ignatian spirituality, specifically the Spiritual Exercises.
