MOAN: a low prolonged sound of pain, grief, or distress
Suicide is society's taboo topic. It is also one of the most tragic, regretful experiences we all encounter in our short lifetime. It is a wound that rarely heals for those left behind. We "moan" under the weight of distress, regret, and confusion. Yet we are hesitant to talk about suicide within our families or communities. This culture of silence is both deafening and deadly.
Sometimes God gives us a healing story so we can use it to give Him glory. Other times, God uses the traumatic events in our life to help others who are struggling. In the book titled, "MOAN: Stories of Suicide, Grief, Grace, and God", author Hope Sheridan hopes to do both by sharing the story of her teenage daughter's survival of the suicide of her entire step family.
Through riveting storytelling, she reveals a story of God's hope, grace, and resilience as her daughter overcomes incredible adversity, trauma, and spiritual warfare using the best practices of science AND the Bible - together.
Rooted in family dysfunction, domestic abuse, struggles with alcohol addiction, and untreated mental health disorders, this powerfully honest story gives the reader a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of suicidal behavior so that we all can do better to protect those at risk, especially our youth. It also reveals groundbreaking research connecting the dots between genetics and risk. Perhaps most importantly, MOAN provides easy to understand best practices which empower anyone to take action in compassionate advocacy for suicide prevention and resilience.
