Giving a Voice to the Child Left Behind: Navigating the unspoken grief of parental suicide in childhood. - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Thirty years ago, aged eleven, Maddie’s world is thrown into turmoil following the death of her Dad. By suicide. Suicide is a word she has never heard before, and she soon realises that society struggles to acknowledge suicide, due to misconception, preconceived ideas, lack of understanding, and judgement.

Maddie takes you on her own journey through the pages, with a unique blend of her perspective as an adult, and, for the first time, giving a voice to the child left behind.

She tells her story of unspoken complex grief she has had to navigate over the years, finally allowing her inner child to process the confusion and isolation. In sharing this remarkable journey with the reader, she hopes to give insight, practical ideas, and the support that she herself had yearned for over the years; yet had to embark upon a journey of self-discovery as an adult.

Within the book, she shares five steps that she found helpful during her journey of acceptance, forgiveness and freedom; in the hope that it will help others who are experiencing, or have experienced, similar in their lives.

Grief, whilst a very personal journey and multifaceted in nature, deserves more understanding, especially when it’s due to loss by suicide.

If any of this resonates with you, it is Maddie's wish that you will find comfort in the pages of this very powerful book.
