WHY DID SHE JUMP? My Daughter’s Battle with Mental Illness, A Broken Healthcare System and My Ultimate Search for Peace is a memoir about my personal tragedy of losing a daughter. Originally published in 2014, I chose to update and revise it as it ran out of print, but the world has changed since 2014, so I wanted to add substance and information that would help other parents with their loss and suffering. Losing a child is every parent’s worst nightmare. Losing a child through suicide has a cascade of emotions that are indescribable. I address these stages of loss and grief in this book. I learned that by helping others, I was helping myself.

Anyone who has suffered the loss of a child through suicide would gain help and understanding of the grieving process as experienced by me, a mother, grandmother, psychotherapist, author, and speaker. The book is now released and can be purchased on Amazon.
