Over four million people a year in the U.S. mourn
the tragic suicide deaths of family members.
Suicide devastates family members for many
years; family survivors are at a greater risk of
suicide themselves and the pain ripples out to
entire communities. In this video, family survivors
reveal their intimate stories and aching pain to
assist other survivors and to help the broader
community understand the unique and terrible grief
of suicide.
Religious communities experience particular pain
because of faith issues. This documentary explores
Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, and Greek Orthodox
responses to suicide. The church can be a “healing
station” in helping survivors find their way to
recovery.
Hosted by legendary folksinger Judy
Collins. The key mental health expert
is Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison,
professor of psychiatry at John
Hopkins University.
