No loss is more difficult to comprehend than suicide. Its devastation extends far beyond immediate family and friends, touching entire communities and leaving deep emotional and spiritual wounds. Those left behind often struggle to find support, and the questions suicide raises - about faith, suffering, and meaning - can remain heartbreakingly unanswered.Bringing together voices from pastoral care, lived experience, and theology, Life Beyond Suicide offers a compassionate, practical resource for all affected by suicide, and for those who support them.•Part One explores suicide through three lenses: pastoral responses, the lived reality of suicide, and theological reflection on its complexities.•Part Two shares deeply personal testimonies - from those bereaved by suicide and from survivors - alongside reflections by Samuel Wells.•Part Three offers liturgies, prayers, and resources. Grounded in honesty, empathy, and hope, Life Beyond Suicide is a vital companion for anyone seeking understanding, healing, and a path toward life beyond loss.Life Beyond Suicide is published in association with Olly’s Future, a suicide awareness charity founded by Ann Feloy in memory of her son who died by suicide aged 22. A portion of the proceeds from sales of this book will be donated to the suicide prevention charity, Olly's Future.
