Omschrijving

Chasing Death is a candid, heartbreaking and enlightening glimpse into the world of families bereaved by the loss of a loved one to suicide. The book connects to the incommunicable pain of survivors from diverse situations, covering some of the darkest thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are often unspoken for fear of being judged. Written by a mother determined to be a victor of circumstance, not a victim, the upsetting aspects of the book are balanced by the author's compassionate, spiritual and philosophical thoughts, quotes and coping strategies to help the survivor move from total despair to living alongside the grief in a positive way. The audience for Chasing Death extends beyond grieving families and those who deal with them and will provide a compelling, touching and informative read for anyone interested in emotional true life stories. It will also help people respond with greater understanding and sensitivity to the surviving families? grief. #1 of every hard copy of the book sold is donated to Kidscape, the UK charity dedicated to keeping children safe from bullying and abuse. Too many bereaved people are thrown into a wilderness of relentless, silent torture, afraid to share their feelings for fear of being judged. This book clearly demonstrates how debilitating the grief can be and how it can still cripple a survivor, ten, twenty, thirty and even forty years or more after the event. However, there are uplifting chapters that give advice on how to live alongside the grief in a positive way and how joy and sadness can co-exist. The audience for Chasing Death extends beyond grieving families and those who deal with them and will provide a compelling, touching and enlightening read for anyone interested in emotional true life stories. It will also help people respond with greater understanding and sensitivity to the surviving families' grief. £1 from every hard copy of the book sold is being donated to Kidscape, the UK charity dedicated to keeping children safe from bullying and abuse.
