Review: "Silent Grief is a book for and about "suicide survivors" - those who have been left behind by the suicide of a friend or loved one. Christopher Lukas is a suicide survivor himself - several members of his family have taken their own lives - and the book draws on his experiences, as well as those of numerous other suicide survivors. These personal testimonies are combined with the professional expertise of Dr. Henry M. Seiden, a psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist."--BOOK JACKET.
