'Final Exit' contains information about which are the best drugs to use in both self-deliverance and assisted suicide to
escape a terminal illness at the end. They are prescription drugs because only these are reliably lethal. Such a release
from terminal suffering requires careful advance planning.

                Healing After the Suicide of a Loved One  Buy from USA

A reader writes: This book provides similar stories from other survivors of suicide, which enables the new reader to identify with the same
feelings and emotions. Losing a loved one to suicide is the most gut-wrenching pain any one could ever experience, and
this book addresses those feelings, emotions, and struggles that the survivors are left to face after the loss of a loved
one. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide.

This book contains some of the most insightful interpretation of statistical data and superlative research in forensic
pathology. 
  
There are two sections in this book. The first section analyzes the social, psychological and biological aspect of suicide
in history and at present time, in the US and all around the world. There are some powerful conclusions, such as gun
ownership does not necessarily contribute to higher suicide rate, that are counter-intuitive but extremely convincing. 
  
The second part of the book deals with various suicide methods. The tone in this section is notably different from the
first part, as if it is another book by another author. Numerous forensic works are quoted here.
