"This is a remarkable book that testifies to inspirational strength in the face of unthinkable suffering. Let Caroline take your hand and walk you through her journey of loss and recovery. It will definitely move you. It will probably change you. It might even save you."

“There are few people in the world who selflessly choose to turn their suffering into something good and helpful for others. Caroline generously and sensitively shares the horrific details of the kind of loss that many can only imagine, while others can painfully relate to.

While emotionally challenging at times, Daddy Blackbird is effortless to read. It takes us on a heart-wrenching rollercoaster ride of emotions, clearly maps out every one of those ups and and downs, brings new insight, advice and realisations at every turn and ends in a hopeful place grown from unimaginable suffering.”

“Deep and authentic insight into an unimaginable journey of utter devastation towards resilience and hope. This book has such broad appeal and provides tremendous value to multiple different audiences. Particularly captivating was how Caroline supported her girls with the loss of their father. A profound example of the importance of teaching children how to understand and navigate emotions.”

“Reading this story provided much comfort to me. There were so many ‘yes, I felt like that too’ moments which made me feel much less alone in my grief.

Caroline doesn’t shy away from the taboo subjects like anger, which I had struggled to find honest accounts of elsewhere. The suggestions for moving forwards are practical yet achievable but also provide that much needed hope.

Ultimately this book made me feel heard and I know this will become one of those valuable resources to help others through the ripples following loss by suicide. Thank you Caroline for being our voice.”

Warrior woman, double parent and fellow suicide loss survivor

“So much of this story could literally be me! For anyone unfortunate enough to be in our position, this book offers comfort and hope.

For those curious, but without lived experience it provides painful insight and probably a new found appreciation for how shit it is at times!”

Hannah Pearsall
Head of wellbeing, mental health first aid instructor and wellbeing coach

“A powerful, important and deeply moving book. In sharing her journey from horror to hope so candidly and sensitively, Caroline sticks two fingers up to stigma and shame; there is simply no space for those demons any longer when it comes to suicide.

 I believe that this book will start courageous, compassionate, potentially ife-saving conversations. Thank you, Caroline, for channelling your pain into these words - words that will help so many.”
