From the desk of Maurice Turmel PhD 

Dear Friend,

• Are You feeling overwhelmed by the emotional effects of having lost a loved one due to suicide?
• Are You feeling anxious, depressed and hurt as a result of this trauma?
• Are You looking for help to deal with your feelings of grief suicide?
• Are You ready to begin your grief recovery so you can get your life back on track?

My name is Maurice Turmel, and I know how you feel.  Death due to suicide is probably the most complex grieving experience.  When a loved one commits suicide, we are left wondering "Why?".  Over and over that simple question keeps coming up – Why?

Why would someone we love do that to themselves? What was going on in their mind that this was their only way out? Did we miss something in their behavior that could have warned us of this possibility? Now we are feeling lost and confused, and maybe even guilty.  We find it difficult to accept that a person we knew would do this to themselves.

The questions and confusing thoughts keep coming because, like everything else in life, we want desperately to understand. We are in shock. We are dumbstruck. We are broken by the news.  Someone we know and love has taken their own life.  Our son, our daughter, our friend, our parent, our partner, our lover, our brother, our sister, our cousin, our high school buddy, our girlfriend, our boyfriend has chosen this way out.

During my therapy career, I lost two clients to suicide.  The first one was a young man in his mid twenties.  He had recently broken up with his wife of one year. He was very depressed.  His parents ran a car dealership in a nearby small community and everyone in this town seemed to know each other. 

He had married his high school sweetheart.  They seemed destined for success.  Problems arose in their relationship and they separated.  By the time I saw him, he was depressed.  Sadly, I only got to see him on 3 occasions before the news came.  A police officer phoned my office early one morning and asked if I knew this person.  When I said yes, the officer reported that the young man had committed suicide in his parent’s garage via carbon monoxide poisoning.

I never did see his parents. My staff and I sent condolences and left it open as to whether or not they wanted to contact me.  They never replied.  Although not attached personally, I sought the help of my training advisor on how I should deal with this. 

A therapist’s first reaction is “How have I failed?”. A lot of processing, with help, has to happen before we come to terms with such an event.  Even though it’s not our loved one, the loss still remains poignant. This is also the time I was made aware that a support group for therapists, who had lost clients to suicide, even existed.

Ultimaley, this is why I wrote "How to Cope with Grief and Loss." Because there were no satisfactory answers in the material I had read, I beleived this topic needed special attention. I felt compelled to address the emotional component of this experience because that is the root of all suffering.  While our minds are trying to make sense of what happened, our hearts are hurting.  When we address the hurt, our mental activity slows down. As we address the hurt, the "Why" question diminishes in importance. Here's what one person had to say about the book.

Wonderful Stories of Hope and Healing

"Wonderful stories of hope and healing, told with a simple wisdom.  Dr. Turmel presents us with a difficult topic, and addresses grieving with an uplifting and inspirational voice." Stone Wallace, Author.

The second suicide of a client was more difficult for me.  This gentleman had been with me for 3 years dealing with a variety of issues including suicidal ideation.  He had already made several suicide attempts. During our time together, I came to know him quite well.  He kept an emotional distance from me most of the time that we worked together. Occasionally, he’d let his inner self be expressed, but that was rare.  He had been sexually molested as a child which proved to be at the root of his depression and suicidal ideation.  He would see me regularly for several months and then disappear, sometimes up to a year. 

Regardless of any facts, you feel this type of loss deeply. Regardless of training, knowledge or experience, we still have to deal with our emotions with this type of loss. As to the question of Why, we will have to accept that conditiond beyond our control exist in these circumstances, and we may never have a satisfactory answer to Why! As the person experiencing this loss your job is to deal with your feelings and reactions. A number of very effective strategies are available for dealing with suicide grief.

Death and loss are inevitable experiences in life. It's important to understand this from the beginning to appreciate that we are not being singled out or victimized in any way. Dealing with a suicide is much harder than most losses because a choice was made, and someone we loved took their own life.  The question of "Why" continues to linger in the background, but begins to lose its hold once we delve deeper into that person's experience.

Dealing with suicide grief is a very complex process and requires the involvement of good resources.  There is no way you can tough this out on your own. "How to Cope with Grief and Loss" will help you answer the question of "Why" and encourage you to be realistic about what impact you could have had on the situation. Self-forgiveness is a big key here.  I learned to forgive myself for that second client suicide and let go of feeling responsible in any way.  Sometimes people will not let you help them. They feel to vulnerable when exposing their inner feelings. You just have to let go of the idea that you could save them.

"How to Cope with Grief and Loss - Support, Guidance and Direction for Your Healing Journey" answers all of these questions and more"

This Innovative Audio-Ebook has already helped many individuals cope with their Suicide Grief and I know it can help YOU!

Here's what you need to know about me . . .

• I have a PhD in Counseling Psychology, along with an M.A. and B.A. in Psychology for a total of 9 years of University training.
• I have 25 years experience as a practicing therapist, helping individuals and families deal with all kinds of losses, including the loss of loved ones through suicide.
• My grief podcasts, articles and radio show interviews are regularly featured on Self-Growth.com, EzineArticles.com, Holistic Junction.com, Helium.com, ArticleBase.com, LearnOutLoud.com, GoArticles.com, BlogTalkRadio.com, Live365Radio.com, AchieveRadio.com and The Personal Growth Advisor.com, to name but a few.
• I have appeared on numerous regional and national television programs to answer questions regarding grief and loss recovery.

One of the most frustrating aspects of losing a loved one through suicide is the feeling that you're not being understood when you talk about it. Unless you're with people who have some familiarity with this type of tragedy, then you're likely talking to people who just don't get it.  This could include therapists who are not acquainted with this type of loss. 

Feeling understood is a paramount first step.  Reading material that describes all aspects of your experience and then provides you with a way through is essential to your recovery. "How to Cope with Grief and Loss" does just that. This book acts as your friend and confidant, by reflecting what you are feeling and providing direction on what to do with your feelings.  A successful grief recovery process has to address your emotional experience. Suicide grief brings up a lot of questions, but all grief requires emotional healing to bring about a full recovery. Here's what another user of our program has to say:

Permission to Feel

"The stories and reflections in "How to Cope with Grief and Loss" give us permission to express our feelings of grief and loss overtly.  They are therapeutic, written in simple fashion, appealing to men, women and children, who have found themselves in the circumstance of grieving, with a wounded heart.  Thank You Dr. Turmel for sharing your onw heart with us." Sister Evelyn Bastien, Longeuil, Quebec.

In regards to suicide, the "Why" question rarely provides a satisfactory answer.  This adds to the complicated nature of this grief.  In the end we have to accept that we never knew that person as much as we believed. They withheld secrets from us and from everyone else.  And their commitment to escape life was stronger than our love for them.

Losing a Loved One is Tragic

"The loss of a loved one is such a tragic event. This collection of stories and reflections presents Love and Hope in support of Your Grief Recovery. Cheryl Lasson - Lost Her Twin Sister.

Suicide grief is tougher than all other forms because of that "Why" question.  To think you had something to do with it is not true.  You never had that level of influence over this person, even if they were your child.  There are character flaws, genetic dispositions, propensity to depression and numerous other reasons that lead a person to suicide. None of them have anything to do with you. 

Appeals to Persons of All Faiths

"Even though references to God are Christian in tone, "How to Cope with Grief and Loss" will appeal to persons of many faiths suffering the experience of loss.  These stories are simple and hold interest, offering much comfort, insight and motivation to share one's grief, that being essential to the healing process." Father Gilbert Gariepy, Chaplain Services, Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Why do people commit suicide? 

Here are some reasons from a therapist’s point of view.  The causes of suicide are complex and multiple. For example, they may be angry at some person or circumstance and turned that anger on themselves. The wife of a close friend chose this path. She was feeling desperate and isolated, and had amplified those feelings with alcohol and drugs. This led to a deeper depression and the willingness to act, which she did. 

Some suicidal individuals feel their inner pain is so unbearable that no one can help them.  In fact, they often refuse to be helped. The list of reasons goes on, and includes more probabilities than any of us could ever imagine.  What chance do you have to prevent a suicide? Very little, unless you are actually there to stop them. Only when suicidal individuals reach out is there a chance for prevention and a turnaround. That's why suicide crisis centers exist.

In some cases of severe depression, individuals who have been brought back from the brink describe and experience of "dissociation" from the part of them that was ready to act. Some have reported complete disbelief of their own behavior, as if it were happening to someone else. With this in mind, you begin to see the complex nature of suicidal ideas.

You’re going to be feeling a lot of different emotions as a result of this event.  You will feel angry at the victim.  You may feel guilty for feeling angry at the victim.  You will certainly be feeling shocked and confused.  After these initial reactions will come the grief and that’s where you can begin to help yourself.

What do you need to do for your grief recovery?
