Anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide experiences tremendous shock and trauma. What follows is a confusing mix of emotions--anger, guilt, grief, and despair.Suicide raises heartrending questions: Why did this happen? Why didn't we see it coming? Could we have done anything to prevent it? How can we go on? Many also wonder if those who choose suicide are doomed to an eternity separated from God and their loved ones. Some may even start asking whether life is worth living at all. After his father's death, Hsu wrestled with the intense emotional and theological questions surrounding suicide. While acknowledging that there are no easy answers, he draws on the resources of the Christian faith to point suicide survivors to the God who offers comfort in our grief and hope for the future. For those who have lost a loved one to suicide and for their counselors and pastors, this book is an essential companion for the journey toward healing. This revised edition incorporates updated statistics, has expanded resources for suicide prevention and mental health ministry, and now includes a discussion guide for suicide survivor groups. 650 0 $a Bereavement $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Suicide $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Consolation 650 7 $a Bereavement $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00830678 650 7 $a Consolation $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875652 650 7 $a Suicide $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01137599 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hsu, Albert Y., 1972- author. $t Grieving a suicide $b Revised and Expanded Edition. $d Downers Grove : InterVarsity Press, 2017 $z 9780830883974 $w (DLC) 2017016955 941 $a 4 952 $l VWPC964 $d 20180410015652.0 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20180407011529.0 952 $l VMPC334 $d 20180308012735.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20171101010428.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2681762BEC911E7B248943F97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
