A mother's raw grief. A family's search for meaning. A legacy of healing and hope.

When Patti Cullen lost her vibrant, intelligent, and loving son Ben to suicide, her world collapsed in an instant. Tears of Love is her deeply personal and profoundly honest account of navigating unimaginable loss - and her courageous journey toward healing, purpose, and advocacy.

Now updated in this expanded 2nd Edition, Tears of Love offers even more comfort and guidance for those touched by suicide. With new chapters, fresh reflections, and powerful new resources, this edition includes:

  • A heartfelt foreword by Ben's sisters, Mandy and Carrie, honoring their brother through candid memories and emotional truth.
  • Additional deeply personal stories, including Patti's harrowing return to Ben's belongings years later, and the unexpected ways grief forces growth.
  • An updated resource section for suicide awareness and prevention, including discussion guides, support strategies, and faith-based tools.
  • A spotlight on BENS Hope, the family-founded nonprofit changing lives by promoting open conversations in schools and communities.
  • Reflections from students impacted by the BENS Hope presentation, showing how sharing Ben's story helps others choose life and compassion.

This book does not offer easy answers. Instead, it invites readers into the quiet ache of a mother's mourning - and the slow, sacred process of learning to live again. With unflinching honesty and a heart rooted in faith, Patti Cullen shows that even through the darkest nights, love and hope are never lost.

Perfect for:

  • Parents and siblings grieving a suicide loss
  • School counselors, therapists, and pastors
  • Teachers and youth mentors looking to prevent teen suicide
  • Readers seeking Christian perspectives on loss and healing
  • Anyone struggling to make sense of life after devastating loss.

"If someone was contemplating suicide and read this book, they may reconsider after realizing the devastating impact on their loved ones." - Candy Flynn, Retired Counselor

"Tears of Love is a beacon of hope for those seeking comfort and strength on their healing journey." - Pastor Mark Dieter

"Patti has bravely shared her story to provide hope, community, and support ... Her outreach to students is extraordinary." - Tammy Salmon-Stephens, UW-Platteville Director Emerita
