Conversations with the Water: a Memoir of Cultivating Hope Michelle Linn-gust

For nearly twenty years Michelle Linn-Gust has journeyed through grief following the suicide of her younger sister Denise. The road has taken her through authoring seven books, speaking around the world about how to cope with suicide, and to the presidency of the American Association of Suicidology. In 2011, she took up surfing, something she always dreamed of but never thought she would, and watched her life change around her. This is her inspiring journey as she reflects back on her life with Denise, the importance of water in her relationship with her sister, and where she goes from here as she moves beyond speaking and writing about grief and loss.
