Review: The title of this book, survivors of suicide, is extremely misleading. Having recently lost a sister to suicide, I bought this book to try to find some answers and/or support. Instead, reading this book made me feel more guilty and horrible then ever. A couple chapters are devoted to stories and stuff about survivors, but the majority of the book is about who is prone to suicide, how to prevent it, myths (i.e. don't ignore suicide threats)...I finished the book feeling that I was at fault for my sister's suicide. I would recommend that NO suicide survivors read this book.
