In this compassionate and practical guide, James R. Petersen explores the many forms and effects of grief with warmth, clarity, and understanding.

emotional and physical reactions to grief
complicated and non-death losses
supporting grieving children and families
coping with holidays, trauma, and major life changes
building resilience while honoring love and memory
Written in an approachable and supportive style, You Are Not Alone is designed to help grieving individuals—and those who support them—find understanding, comfort, and hope during life’s most difficult moments.

A Compassionate Guide to Understanding Suicide Loss, Grief, and the Unanswered Questions
You’re Not Broken—You’re Surviving a Loss to Suicide is a comprehensive, compassionate guide designed specifically for those navigating the devastating aftermath of a suicide loss. Written from a unique intersection of deep personal tragedy and professional crisis expertise, author James R. Petersen draws directly upon his own lived experience of losing his 31-year-old son to suicide, alongside his years spent serving as a trained Trauma Responder with the Trauma Intervention Program (TIP).
Unlike clinical textbooks or rigid manuals, this book offers a raw, honest peer perspective combined with modern psychological insights. It addresses the complex, often unanswerable questions that follow a suicide, challenges the societal stigma surrounding the loss, and maps out the profound physical and cognitive toll that trauma takes on the human body. Built upon the foundational belief that knowledge is power, this guide provides survivors, support groups, and clinicians with inclusive, flexible navigation that honors all backgrounds. It stands as a steady companion in the wilderness of grief, emphasizing that while this tragedy changes you forever, understanding can help you carry the burden of loss and discover that you are not broken.
