From the chief medical correspondent of ABC News, an eloquent, heartbreaking, yet hopeful memoir of surviving the suicide of a loved one, examining this dangerous epidemic and offering first-hand knowledge and advice to help family and friends find peace. Jennifer Ashton, M.D., has witnessed firsthand the impact of a loved one’s suicide. When her ex-husband killed himself soon after their divorce, her world—and that of her children—was shattered. Though she held a very public position with one of the world’s largest media companies, she was hesitant to speak about the personal trauma that she and her family experienced following his death. A woman who addresses the public regularly on intimate health topics, she was uncertain of revealing her devastating loss—the most painful thing she’d ever experienced. But with the high-profile suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, Dr. Ashton recognized the importance of talking about her experience and the power of giving voice to her grief. She shared her story with her Good Morning America family on air—an honest, heartbreaking revelation that provided comfort and solace to others, like her and her family, who have been left behind. In Life After Suicide, she opens up completely for the first time, hoping that her experience and words can inspire those faced with the unthinkable to persevere. Part memoir and part comforting guide that incorporates the latest insights from researchers and health professionals, Life After Suicide is both a call to arms against this dangerous, devastating epidemic, and an affecting story of personal grief and loss. In addition, Dr. Ashton includes stories from others who have survived the death of a loved one by their own hand, showing how they survived the unthinkable and demonstrating the vital roles that conversation and community play in recovering from the suicide of a loved one. The end result is a raw and revealing exploration of a subject that’s been taboo for far too long, providing support, information, and comfort for those attempting to make sense of their loss and find a way to heal.
Sudden paralysis is a circumstance no one wishes to get intimately familiar with, but such tragedies do unfortunately occur. In my own experience, I've learned that a mother will search desperately for the tools of education whenever they're required, but when my son was involved in a life-changing accident, I could find no shared experiences written of by another parent. After living through the experience of the accident's aftermath and the many months of rehabilitation, I was eventually able to sit down and put words onto paper in the hope that another mother would one day find my experience helpful during their own times of learning and searching. That immediate past so suddenly lost, without preparation of any kind, brought my old son into focus at the same time as my mind was trying to meet the new one-who was in many ways a stranger based on the physical limitations and changes now present in his life. During this time is when I met the ghost-- and the handsome man in the wheelchair. I was determined to do so positively, but had no instruction book on the new parenting needs. We learned together, all of us who loved my son, and I can now see that part of the lesson is that the ghost leaves us in his own time as we learn to let him go. There is no one-means or one-method lesson book. I have tried as honestly as I can to share my experience as a mother. My attempt is supported by my courageously inspiring son who was the motivator and teacher in many ways and by his younger brother who shared commitment and devotion with me. At the end of our story-which is truly a beginning of another-our lives are full and blessings continue to enrich our times together. The goal of this book is that the reader will find something that will take them through Hell Week to the start of their loved one's new life with more hope and confidence. Many have contributed to our progress; I hope I may contribute to the hopefulness of others in similar circumstances.
