About this item
It is hard to tell which was more devastating: finding out about Dad's first suicide attempt or his death shortly thereafter. I didn't have time to reflect on his unexpected attempt when Mom and I learned about secrets he had been hiding over the past year. His dream business became a living nightmare, creating debts and unimaginable stress that we were previously unaware of. Life became hell. I feared his next attempt would only be a matter of time. My New Normal: Surviving Suicide Loss takes the reader through the true story of a 22-year-old survivor of a family suicide. The journal entries were written immediately after the tragedy. The emotions are raw, the memories are real. This book will instill hope in suicide survivors of every age, shares an incredible story, and spreads awareness on the dangers of a hidden illness.
