#709 Sushi Tuesdays A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Family Resilience.

After taking her sons on a hike with the family dog one beautiful fall afternoon, Charlotte returned home to find a policewoman, a policeman, and a priest in her driveway—there to deliver the news of her husband’s suicide. Charlotte knew her husband had been stressed about work, but she had no idea he was suicidal. She thought he had stayed home to take a nap.

As a young widow, Charlotte cried, cursed, meditated, medicated, downward-dogged, and ran as a way to make sense of her husband’s suicide. As the mother of two bereft sons, she summoned her inner strength and clarity in order to provide steady guidance for them to navigate their own ways through the ensuing months and years.

In Charlotte’s new book, Sushe Tuesdays: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Family Resilience, she offers powerful lessons and practical ways in which suicide survivors can frame a stunning tragedy and move forward to live lives of joy and purpose.
