Loss Adjustment

Heartbreaking and authentic depiction of loss and grief

Recommendation: Loss Adjustment could be a good read for those who want to understand the emotional impact of suicide on families. Linda Collins' memoir is a beautifully written and poignant account of her daughter's suicide, exploring the many emotions, questions and reflections following such a devastating loss. The journal entries provide an intimate portrayal of the deceased daughter and readers will be moved by the raw authenticity of the author's writing. Collins' account is an important contribution to mental health advocacy and suicide prevention, challenging readers to confront the societal stigma surrounding suicide.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Loss Adjustment is a mother's recount of her 17-year-old daughter's suicide. In the wake of Victoria McLeod's passing, she left behind a remarkable journal in her laptop of the final four months of her life. Linda Collins, her mother, has woven these into her memoir, which is at once cohesive, yet fragmented, reflecting a survivor's state of mind after devastating loss. Loss Adjustment involves the endless whys, the journey of Linda Collins and her husband in honouring Victoria, and the impossible question of what drove their daughter to this irretrievable act.
