The unthinkable has happened.

Painful. Crushing. Traumatic. Confusing. Complicated.

No chance to say goodbye. No final embrace, kiss, or touch. No opportunity to clear the air, ask and give forgiveness, or make amends. A life gone.

The tsunami has come, and now you're left standing amid the aftermath.

What do you do?

Reach out and grab the hand of multiple award-winning author and grief counselor Gary Roe. Let him walk with you through this uncharted, forbidding territory. You need a companion who can be a source of comfort, perspective, hope, and healing. Let Gary journey with you through the aftermath and help you pick up the pieces and begin to rebuild your heart and life.

Aftermath was written to...

Connect with your heart in all the pain, grief, and confusion.
Be a companion for you in this unwanted, heart-crushing process that has been thrust upon you.
Be a source of comfort, perspective, healing, and peace.
Provide practical tools to help you pick up the pieces and begin to rebuild your heart and life.

In Aftermath, you can discover how to...

Be kind to yourself and patient with yourself during this incredibly hard time.
Manage the racing thoughts and volatile emotions that come.
Deal with other people and the unhelpful words and weird reactions that come your way.
Navigate the tough spiritual issues and faith questions that confront your soul.
Grieve in healthy ways that honor the one you lost, take your own heart seriously, and express kindness and compassion to those around you.
Abandon the notion of quick fixes, self-medicating relief, and the lying voice of addiction as a way out.
Latch onto the truth that no one is beyond repair and that anyone can heal - including you.
Use your grief as fuel for good and make this death count by living with more purpose and meaning than ever before.
Save lives and become part of the solution to this raging suicide epidemic.

You didn't choose this road. You woke up on day and found you were on it. You're left standing in amid the aftermath.

But you are not alone. Far from it. Let Aftermath become a understanding companion for you in the days ahead.

“In Aftermath, Gary Roe offers hope, validation, acceptance, and an understanding of the "aftermath" that is the grief journey for someone who's loved one died by suicide. All too frequently, the stigma associated with suicide hinders one's ability to rebuild and recognize what is healthy (even if it is painful) in grief. Through the loving, straightforward, practical, and open style of Aftermath, the stigma is removed, and only hope and love remain.”

– Glen Lord, CEO, The Grief Toolbox; President, Board of Directors, The Compassionate Friends.

“I wish I had this resource five years ago. Aftermath provides exactly what is needed for family and friends who are grieving a suicide loss. These pearls of affirmation, encouragement and perspective lift the emotional fog and direct grievers towards healing.”

– Dr. Charles W. Page, MD, author of A Spoonful of Courage for the Sick and Suffering, Podcast Host at www.drpagepodcast.com.

”Aftermath is sensitive, compassionate, straightforward, and thorough. Gary addresses the incredible tsunami a single suicide death unleashes on the hearts, minds, souls, bodies, and relationships of family members, friends, and coworkers. Though the subject matter is heavy, Aftermath is an easy and practical read. Readers will find comfort, hope, and healing in its pages.”
