It’s not something that’s easy to talk about.
Suicide.
It can be a source of shame for loved ones and family members, who speak of it in hushed tones and whispers — if at all.
Unless they are forced to speak of it. Forced to because the person who took his life was a public figure, thrusting the issue into the spotlight. As was the case when Nelson Faerber Jr. earlier this month was he found dead of a gunshot wound in a North Naples park, an apparent suicide. Faerber, a prominent attorney and former Collier County School Board member, was facing charges for child sexual abuse.
So how do those who are left behind survive the aftermath of suicide?
