Love You Like the Sky Surviving the Suicide of a Beloved

Writing from the unique point of view of a suicide survivor who is also a psychologist, Sarah Neustadter presents a selection of the emails she sent to John, her deceased beloved, over a three-year period following his death. Documenting the raw emotions she experienced during this time period--grief, despair, abandonment, confusion, and the seductive feeling of wanting to die--she seeks to answer the hard existential and psychological questions: Why is this happening? What does this mean about mortality? How do I go on with the rest of my life without my beloved? How do I heal my broken heart? Will I ever love again? Love You Like the Sky is a companion guide and roadmap for supporting younger women and men through intense and complicated grief as an access point toward deeper transformation--shifting awareness from despair to beauty.

Part memoir and part self-help in nature, this compilation of emails-written by a young psychologist to her beloved following his suicide-chronicles the process of surviving and grieving the tragic death of a loved one, and of using grief for deeper psychospiritual healing and transformation.
