Book Description
Suicide presents a real and often tragic puzzle for the family and friends of someone who has committed or attempted suicide. 'Why did they do it?' 'How could they do this?' 'Why did they not see there was help available?' For therapists and clinicians who want to help those who are vulnerable and their families, there are also puzzles that often seem unsolvable. What is it that causes someone to end his or her own life, or to harm themselves: is it down to a person's temperament, the biology of their genes, or to social conditions? What provides the best clue to a suicidal person's thoughts and behaviour? Each type of explanation, seen in isolation, has its drawbacks, so we need to see how they may fit together to give a more complete picture. Cry of Pain examines the evidence from a social, psychological and biological perspective to see if there are common features that might shed light on suicide. Informative and sympathetically written, it is essential reading for therapists and mental health professionals as well as those struggling with suicidal feelings, their families and friends.

Any person grieving for someone who has committed suicide copes with a question that can never be answered: Why?

Book Description
Originally viewed as a sign of disease, crying is now understood as a symptom of problematic functioning in early development. We now know a great deal about normative developmental patterns of infant crying and how they are manifested in various clinical settings--emergency room complaint, painful procedures, colic, temper tantrums, and nonverbal and mentally challenged infants. Crying as a Sign, a Symptom and a Signal brings the reader up to date on this new evidence concerning infant crying in the first few months and years of life. In this authoritative clinical text, an international team of experts explore this new conceptualization of the significance of early infant crying. They bring both historical and methodological perspectives to a multidisciplinary synopsis of the new understanding of this important infant behavior.

Book Description
This thoughtful, poetic book uses metaphors and beautiful imagery to explore the reasons for our tears. In a soft voice, Mario asks, “Mother, why do we cry?” And his mother begins to tell him about the many reasons for our tears. We cry because our sadness is so huge it must escape from our bodies. We cry because we don’t understand the world, and our tears go in search of an answer. Most important, she tells him, we cry because we feel like crying. And, as she shows him then, sometimes we feel like crying for joy. This warm, reassuring hug of a book makes clear that everyone is allowed to cry, and that everyone does.

Book Description
One in three women will have an abortion. Forty-five percent will have more than one. I am one in three. I am one in forty-five percent. I am not alone. I was sixteen years old when the cry began. It was a silent screaming within my soul that I felt sure everyone could hear. I carried the cry for fifteen years before I was able to identify it. It started the day I had my first abortion. “A simple outpatient procedure; we will remove the mass of tissue. You’re young—you have your whole lives ahead of you to have children. You’re making the right choice.” I believed them. My “choice” led me down a dark path of self-destructive behavior that lasted for ten long years! I was desperate to be free. “God, if you can hear me, please help me, make it stop!” I cried. Jesus heard my cry and healed the aching in my heart. What is post-abortion syndrome? Will God heal me after what I did? How can I be free? These were all questions that I had. If you are struggling with a past abortion, or if you have been carrying a cry, you are not alone. Whether you have had one abortion or multiple abortions, only He can heal the damage that abortion causes. Jesus sees your pain and longs to heal you. You have a choice to make. You can allow the Lord to heal you, or you can continue to carry the cry.
