Touched by Suicide

If you have been touched by suicide, I recommend the book


Voices

Voices of Strength: Sons and Daughters of Suicide Speak Out




If Judy is doing a book signing in your area, run, do not walk to have her sign your book while you can still obtain a copy.

The book is appropriate for those touched by suicide and every public and medical library.

I suggest that first responders, clergy, as well as therapists working in the area of suicide, read this book and include it in their library to share with those having a need to know.

Do not be surprised to hear Judy and Mia on the radio talking about parental suicide or see these most talented women on T.V. in the near future.
