Amazon Reader Review

But I Didn’t Say Goodbye led me through explaining suicide to my two children after a suicide death in our family. Barbara Rubel breaks down in understandable, step-by-step, layman’s terms, how to speak, with honesty, care, and sensitivity, to a child about suicide. As a grief specialist, I know the lingo, and yet, when tragedy struck our family, all my knowledge flew out the window. If I did not have Rubel’s book, I would’ve been lost. Thank goodness for her book and the wisdom each page holds. I have passed Rubel’s book along to many a bereaved family & community member, client, and professional. Barbara Rubel is a true gift to the field of Thanatology!
