BOOKS
The following is the best book we found on Depression. Although it is called the "Catholic Guide" it is really geared toward all faiths:
Catholic Guide to Depression by Dr. Aaron Kheriaty
Responding to Suicide: A Pastoral Handbook for Catholic Leaders:
Suicide Pastoral Handbook
When a Loved One Dies by Suicide: Comfort, Hope, and Healing for Grieving Catholics
After Suicide: There's Hope for Them and for You
GREAT HANDBOOKS ON GRIEF - FREE TO DOWNLOAD
We were given the Secular version of this handbook when we were informed by the Medical Examiner about the death of Thomas. I found it quite good in understanding grief especially as a Father. They are written by the Chaplain for the Medical Examiner, Joe Davis. He is with
Dunamai Ministries. You can download the one that best fits your needs for free . . .
