Egor Was A Bright, But Troubled Boy There Was No Warning

Did you see it coming? You must have noticed something. How can you not know your child was suffering? These were just some of the questions that we faced after our son’s suicide. My wife and I were always at a loss for words. Our son was a gem – always prioritizing work, a brilliant student and was always on top of things.

That illusion shattered into a million pieces when I opened the garage door and saw my son dangling from the ceiling. After his death, my wife and I found out he was taking anti depressants that were prescribed by a local clinic. This was a shocker, but what was abhorrent was the sheer lack of responsibility they took.

Learn how our daughter blossomed into a happy and responsible young lady becoming our strength during that difficult time.

We Chose Kindness

What Our Readers Are Saying Now if we did not convince you, maybe a few words from our customers will!

Sarah Miller

“I lost my daughter in an accident and not a day goes by that I don’t blame myself even though I know there was nothing I could have done to prevent it. Life had become numb and meaningless. At the lowest point in my life, this book gave me hope. Like Egor’s parents, I am working to set up a charity in my daughter, Tiffany’s name that helps grieving parents come to terms with their loss.”

Jeremy Jones

“Suicide happened to other people in my world but after reading this book, I ran to my son’s room crying and gave him a huge hug and told him he could talk to me about anything. Don’t take your kids for granted even if they seem content and happy. Depression is a ticking time bomb and the family left behind is the one to grieve.”

Mary Celeste

“You never know how much your child is hurting even if you are the most loving parent in the world. My daughter lost her best friend to suicide and it took months for her to recover from the loss. She has read My Name is Dad countless times and it made her make sense of the tragedy and gain the closure she needed.”

Judy Smith

“No parent should have to bury their child. My Samuel was a fun-loving and extremely affectionate boy. He was quite popular in school as well and a good student. What we didn’t know was that he was getting bullied online. My darling boy took his own life because he believed their lies and taunts. My Name is Dad helped me and my husband come to terms with our grief. While the pain and regret will never truly go away, we have started moving forward bit by bit. It’s what Samuel would have wanted.”

The author did an absolutely phenomenal job at expressing what families experience during such a traumatic time with a family member. I am sure the book will help many people understand the many facets of each individual situation to help promote the ability to cope and heal as well. I feel very honored to have had the opportunity to have read it…5 🌟 rating for such great expression..
