Like the most powerful office shredder ripping records to shreds, so is
grief's impact on our hearts and hope ... at least for a time. The
devastation of suicide, both the death of a loved one and how others
respond to us or ignore us, is a very traumatic shredding. This is true
for adults who grieve and it is equally true for children who grieve
following a suicidal death. But I Didn't Say Goodbye will be a wise
informer, a nurturing guide and a welcomed friend for children, for
those who walk with them, and for the grieving adults in their life.
The Rev. Richard B. Gilbert, D.Min.,
Executive Director,
The World Pastoral Care Center
