Abstract

Healing from the Loss of a Loved One to Suicide is a personal journey to creatively process emotions and memories associated with losing my brother in 2012. This auto-ethnography is a patchwork that flows from present to past events in unforeseeable directions. The process of writing transported me back to the moment. I found out about my brother's death up to present day. It engages the topics of depression, guilt, blame and trauma that survivor's feel and offers an approach to finding inner peace. © 2018 Taylor & Francis.
