Summary:
Suicide would appear to be the last taboo. Even incest is now
discussed freely in popular media, but the suicide of a loved one is
still an act most people are unable to talk about--or even admit to
their closest family or friends. This is just one of the many painful
and paralyzing truths author Carla Fine discovered when her husband,
a successful young physician, took his own life in December 1989. And
being unable to speak openly and honestly about the cause of her pain
made it all the more difficult for her to survive.With No Time to Say
Goodbye, she brings suicide survival from the darkness into light,
speaking frankly about the overwhelming feelings of confusion, guilt,
shame, anger, and loneliness that are shared by all survivors. Fine
draws on her own experience and on conversations with many other
survivors--as well as on the knowledge of counselors and mental
health professionals. She offers a strong helping hand and invaluable
guidance to the vast numbers of family and friends who are left
behind by the more than thirty thousand people who commit suicide
each year, struggling to make sense of an act that seems to them
senseless, and to pick up the pieces of their own shattered lives.
And, perhaps most important, for the first time in any book, she
allows survivors to see that they are not alone in their feelings of
grief and despair.
