And Still, Echoes of a Death Long Past. Erica Goode.
by Goode, Erica; ProQuest Information and Learning Company.
Series: SIRS Enduring Issues 2004Article 406Family. Publisher: New York Times, 2003ISSN: 1522-3213;.Subject(s): Bereavement | Death -- Psychological aspects | Suicidal behavior | Suicide -- Genetic aspects | Suicide -- Risk factors | Suicide victimsDDC classification: 050 Summary: "A suicide is as much a prelude as an ending. More than 29,000 Americans kill themselves every year. Each death forcibly derails the lives of parents and children, partners and siblings, hurling them into unfamiliar and sometimes perilous territory. But the study of suicide has for the most part been devoted to those who choose to end their lives, not to the survivors, those left behind. Only recently [2003] have researchers begun to investigate, in a systematic fashion, the effects of a death from suicide on family members." (NEW YORK TIMES) The author examines some of the studies which suggest that suicide survivors "often experience more grief, rejection, shame and isolation than those who grieve other deaths," that they "feel worse about themselves and are viewed more negatively by others" and that they "themselves have an elevated risk of suicide."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
