book for families dealing with Suicide?

[talkthedog]

Anyone have an easy to understand book for people that might not understand why someone would kill themselves. My cousin killed himself yesterday. He suffered with bi-polar along with other problems. Having lived with depression I understand how he felt and why he wanted to do what he did. And everyone seems to be dealing ok so far but I know its been thrown around a lot of not understanding why.
