I wish Id had R. Jade McAuliffes book about 20 years ago, when my sister took her own life. I was so busy being there for my mother, I forgot how important it was to be there for myself.

From the very beginning, and throughout this book, I found many great quotes including this one: Partake in bodacious self-care practices. But perhaps the most profound statement was found in her Conclusion: Death doesnt kill a relationship, it only alters it. This is the best take-away statement I have ever read!

While Wake Me from the Nightmare was written for those impacted by suicide loss, I think it should be required reading for everyone recovering from loss or trauma of any kind. Filled with stories from Jade McAuliffes personal experiences and those of her clients, this book helps readers understand they are not alone, even the most out there feelings and thoughts are normal, and real-world and out of this world support is always available for the taking.

The loss of a loved one is a painful experience. Enduring the added trauma of loss to suicide makes this situation even more devastating. In this heartfelt and comforting book, Jade reminds you that youre not alone. She shares her own story, struggles, and realizations with honesty and compassion. The tools she offers are simple and essential in gently guiding the heartbroken through the journey of grief and mourning. Most importantly, Jade reminds us all that, ultimately, were here to celebrate our loved ones (and ourselves) through a life well lived. This book is a must-have for anyone dealing with traumatic loss.

R. Jade McAuliffe pulls back the curtain on a culturally taboo topic and shines the light on suicide loss with such tenderness and grace. Her words are a balm to any aching heart grieving the sudden loss of a loved one. Being a suicide survivor myself, I know this messy, uncomfortable no-mans land that those left behind are forced to navigate. This is the book that lovingly and gently guides survivors through that desolate landscape. Having survived the sudden loss of both of her sisters, the author is a genuine authority on the topic and has transformed her own pain and journey into a practical process of healing, holding the readers hand every step of the way. Thank you, Jade, for your courage to share your story and your wisdom to provide such a vital resource to those facing the heart-breaking grief of suicide loss.

In Wake Me from the Nightmare, R. Jade McAuliffe offers an empowering and creative process of healing from the grief of suicide. I found that the tools offered in her personal account were effective in transforming the intense and confusing pain of the many faces of grief. She does so in a way that enables the process to unfold, in its own unique way, by inviting us to heal our pain through the acceptance of our own hearts.
