¿Hablamos del suicidio?

The word "suicide" is no longer the taboo it once was. There are more and more people who dare to speak about this reality, and with the hope of breaking their silence and helping those who are going through the same grief, Carmen Sánchez Alegre narrates her experience and feelings after the suicide of the brother of her In order to represent a ray of hope, this book tells the story of how she and her family embarked on a path of adaptation to this new reality, and tells why grief due to suicide is so complicated: in addition to accepting the loss and rebuilding a life without your loved one, you have to deal with the continual feeling of guilt and wondering how their death could have been prevented. Because Carmen understood that the suicide of a family member is never overcome, but she comes to accept herself; and she found mechanisms and tools to learn to move on thanks to self-love, psychotherapy and her own personal work. In addition, this book aims to break the social stigma of suicide by making visible an unavoidable reality -in Spain some 4,000 people commit suicide a year-, give support to people who have lived or are living similar circumstances and denounce an inactive political system, demanding a greater intervention of rulers and better health protocols.
