Book offers the hand of comfort to those left behind in the
shadows of loss
PHOENIX, April 29,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author C.A. Blake
was 24 years old when her brother, Steve, committed suicide. She
struggled with the feeling she wouldn't survive the pain of it.
Growing up in a time where little to no coping skills were taught
or offered, she traveled the path of suffering alone. Today, she
understands her strength and is ready to share her story of healing
in her book, "In Those Left Behind: My Brothers Suicide."
"At the time of my brother's passing,
suicide wasn't a popular subject," Blake said. "There was little
understanding or professional help available for those left behind.
This inspired me to share my story, fostering a compassionate
approach to those hurting from losing their loved ones."
In the book, Blake speaks to those struck by sudden, unexpected
losses and offers hope to those who may share similar
circumstances. She communicates how readers may move forward,
nurture their strength, and provide the tools to have readers trust
themselves again during the pain of losing a loved one.
"The love of your loved one will always remain with you," Blake
said. "I want my readers to know that I am holding their hand,
helping them learn to live again by bringing healing around the
loss they have suffered."
Acknowledging the importance of awareness, Blake pursues the
advocation of mental health. By sharing her story, she strives to
break down the stigma surrounding mental health issues, but instead
promotes understanding and empathy, encouraging her readers to seek
help without fear of judgment.
