The best thing about this book was reading how... more info
A helpful book, a revelation I lost my mother to suicide 18 years ago. At that point I was aged 7.

After 17 years of struggling with the weight of the bereavement on my shoulders I decided to seek help. I was given "A special scar" by a counsellor and while reading it had revelation after revelation. To realise that I was not the only one suffering from intense grief and pain, was amazing.
