"What does self-care mean, and what does it involve? Simply put, it implies --
physical, emotional, psychological, social and spiritual care. The very idea of
survivors of suicide loss practicing self-care can seem radical. The stigma,
shame, secrecy and silence that a survivor faces invisibilizes, erases and
marginalizes any of their valid concerns. Equally relevant, most survivors
themselves feel they are not entitled to any form of supporteither from
themselves or from others. As someone who had just survived suicide loss, Cheryl
Richardson's The Art of Extreme Self-Care was a milestone in my path toward
recovery and healing. "
