18 - The author Judy Collins attempted suicide as a teen and later lost her son to suicide. She also shares her struggles with addiction. I think this book offers a lot of hope after a suicide loss. I especially thought it was good to read after her book Sanity and Grace. The earlier book Sanity and Grace dealt with the terrible pain of losing her son and included lots of her journal entries from that time. With this book, you can see the progress that she is making in her healing and I would recommend reading them together if you are going to read one.
I have been reading a lot on this subject and it seems like most of the books tip-toe around the fact that if you have lost someone to suicide statistically you are more likely to attempt yourself. Judy brings this up again and again to discuss how because of that she felt like she needed to take extra good care of herself.
This book deals with how Judy used meditation, yoga, massage therapy, alternative medicine, exercise, etc. in her healing rather than medicating herself.
