Publisher's 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 that 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 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 30,000 people who commit suicide each year. 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.

She gets it.

Carla did such a great job with this book. I really liked that she had so many people's experiences with suicide in here. And that she was so open to sharing her tragic loss of Harry. This kind of loss is so isolating and it helped my heart on such a deep level knowing that I'm not alone. To hear the thoughts and feelings of other suicide loss survivors made me want to yell "Yes! That's what I'm feeling! There's other people that can understand." Thank you Carla for writing this book and for reading it as an audiobook for those of us that no longer have the concentration to be able to read. It was also good for me to hear that other people experience this loss of concentration after losing a loved one to suicide. I can't recommend this book enough.
