• The death of a parent by suicide is a tough issue for a child to deal with. It is especially hard to help them understand how God still loves them and their parent who committed suicide. This book helped my children deal with the fact that their father is still loved by God. It helped them understand that God can help them through ANY tragedy that they may face in their lives. Not only did it help them--it helped me answer questions about suicide and religion. This book is a wonderful tool to encourage communication about suicide and God.

• In The Wake Of Suicide may be "A Child's Journey", but it can be of exceptional benefit for anyone seeking to understand and accept a terrible event in their lives! It’s a great tool for a parent experiencing grief and having to "try" and help their child get through such a tragedy. God Bless Mrs. Kaulen for simplifying such difficult circumstances. She takes the pain of a child and demonstrates vividly how "We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!"

• Through the eyes of young Max, the reader witnesses the unmanageable and overwhelming pain and confusion of parental suicide. A taboo topic that affects far too many people, suicide and its repercussions are seldom addressed as honestly, kindly and graciously as is accomplished in this small book. In spite of the sorrow, guilt and anger, the healing Voice of a tender, merciful and loving God speaks into this darkest night of human experience. In the Wake of Suicide is a must-read, not only for children trying to cope with the reality, but for anyone who has suffered through the doubts, questions, rage and hurt, as well as for those who provide care and support following a suicide.
