Not books about suicide but books dealing with how others dealt with the suicide of a loved one. Thanks.

I am so very very sorry.
There is a web sight you can go to called "Grief Recovery" where online people will respond to your feelings.
Perhaps find writings or books by Dr. Marian Kubler-Ross. She was the first to codify the feelings surrounding grief and death.
These are the stages of grieving:
1. Disbelief
2. Denial
3. Anger
4. Bargaining/Depression
5. Acceptance.
Do not be surprised if there is a lot of anger. - possibly misplaced anger as well. Especially where there has been suicide.

I do not really know of the good books dealing with the subject. I just know when I have been confronted with the thoughts and emotions of another person confused, and I know that I learn in a hurry. how to try and hold on to them with words. It woke me up to the reality of many people thinking toward that resort when there is no need to. The world they have lived in for so long felt like security until someone moved the ground they built their lives on and around. It is not a pleasant reality to witness, It is not pleasant to know there are many at the verge of contemplating it as a solution, because they can not see them self as growing and learning. they think their learning years are over. It really is ok to keep learning and moving with life. really it is.

Well it's not a book about suicide but it helped me when I was feeling suicidal: "Ask and It Is Given" by Esther and jerry Hicks. Esther is also featured in the movie "The Secret" which I also highly recommend for your suicidal loved one and yourself

Motley Crue: The Dirt. Many people I know liked the book enven though it has a lot of drugs, sex, violence, party, and some death. Its very interesting because its real thing that these people went through starting from childhood, to sucess as rock stars, and the downward spiral that came with it.
Peace

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore
It's a fictional piece about dealing with the death of a loved one. It's darkly funny, with good insight into moving forward with your life while retaining fond memories of those we lost.

Joan Didion's "The Year of Magical Thinking" is about the death of her husband. She is one of my favorite authors, and I highly recommend this book.

It doesnt directly discuse the matter. But I would say the Bible would always be helpful in anytime of need and anytime at all.
