Hour 1: How does someone cope with the loss of a parent and how does a parent’s suicide reverberate through a child’s life? We’ll talk this hour with Harvard Medical School assistant professor of psychiatry, Dr. Nancy Rappaport, who examines her own family history in the book “In Her Wake: A Child Psychiatrist Explores the Mystery of Her Mother’s Suicide” (Basic Books, Paperback, 2011).
