Suicide, the "white elephant", people are reluctant to acknowledge or discuss.
After returning from a conference in Florida with Lance Wallnau and Tamara Lowe,
he and the team there have really helped to bring great focus in Kimberly Wallace's recent season of Redemption. She is working on a book called "Indescribable" for
suicide survivors: Those who have been left behind by the
suicide of a loved one or friend and for loved ones; friends,
counselors, Pastors and care
givers of suicide survivors.
It's a three part book:
Indescribable: Kimberly's grief experience as a suicide survivor
Inconceivable: Help for friends and family of the suicide survivor
Unfathomable Love: The only HEALTHY coping mechanism, without whom she would be a basket case..
Every seventeen minutes, someone somewhere, chooses death by self
murder. In the wake of this horrific decision, other people are left to
cope with the ripples. Kimberly Wallace lost her husband
to suicide. The author presents her very personal experience of
bereavement, grief reactions and various ways of coping.
This is a recovery book
that will provide encouragement and support for survivors and those that love them. Examining
the complex emotions involved in grieving a suicide death, readers will
come to realize they are not alone in their grief and will not be alone
in their healing. The message is
that it is important to share ones experience of survival with others
and encourage other survivors to overcome the perceived stigma or shame
associated with suicide and seek support from self help, group therapy
and friends.
I am wondering about the status of your book. I am a college instructor with an "indescribably" heavy heart for a student of mine who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when she was 14 years old and her father committed suicide in late January of this year. Thank you for any help you can give me. If your book was available, I'd buy it instantly; I have already referred her to your blog.
