My Son...My Son...a Guide to Healing after Death, Loss, or Suicide
Iris Bolton's classic work about healing from loss still holds as powerful a message as when it was first published in 1983. At bottom, life and death are our greatest teachers — if we shall but listen. Iris Bolton's personal story of her son Mitch's suicide is a deeply moving, poignant one. It is a story of both a devastating tragedy and an exquisite triumph — and the agonizing, relentless, conflicted process connecting these two oppositional pulls. This book is part memoir of their experience and part handbook for dealing with the grief. Her co-author was her father, Curtis Mitchell.

Voices of Healing & Hope : Conversations on Grief After Suicide
Voices of Healing and Hope is an inspiration on every level. The discussions of suicide, the heartfelt stories, and the conversations are uplifting, heartbreaking, and heart-healing. What those of us need who have suffered from a loss of a loved one from suicide is to talk about this devastation - both when it has happened to us and to those we love, and when we are worried about it in ourselves and others.
"Iris Bolton builds on her first book by sharing the stories of individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide. Through the diverse narratives, Bolton demonstrates that readers are not alone as they confront complex feelings of guilt, pain, shame, anger, and fear that accompany such profound loss. Sensitive, practical, and authentic, Bolton's book, is a powerful tool for those seeking healing." –Rosalynn Carter, Former First Lady and Co-Founder of The Carter Center
