Author Suzanne K. Oliver Turns Personal Tragedy Into a Mission to Save Lives Through Her Book “Right Now!”
When Suzanne K. Oliver lost her 21-year-old son to suicide, she thought her heart would never recover. Years later, when her husband also took his own life, she faced a depth of grief few can imagine. And yet, from those darkest moments, Oliver found her life’s purpose: helping others survive what nearly destroyed her.
Her debut book, Right Now! Practical Strategies for Anxiety, Depression, and Suicidal Thinking, is not just a resource, it is a roadmap born from heartbreak. It is saving lives, offering comfort, and filling the gaps that left Suzanne and her family without the help they desperately needed.
“I could not change what happened to my son or my husband,” Oliver says. “But I can help make sure it does not happen to someone else.”
A Story That Resonates Nationwide
With more than 49,000 Americans dying by suicide each year and millions more struggling silently with mental illness, Suzanne’s story is tragically relatable. But what sets her apart is what she did next.
Instead of retreating into her pain, she poured her grief into learning, studying mental health, holistic healing, brain science, spirituality, and emotional recovery. The result is Right Now! A book that blends scientific insight with lived experience to guide others toward healing.
A Voice for Suicide Loss Survivors
Right Now! Is particularly impactful for suicide loss survivors, those left behind, filled with grief, guilt, and unanswered questions.
Suzanne speaks directly to them in the book, offering:
- Words of comfort from someone who has been there
- Permission to grieve and heal in their own time
- Emotional tools like forgiveness and gratitude
- Practical support like therapy guidance and community resources
She also addresses common struggles, such as:
- “Could I have done more?”
- “What if I missed the signs?”
- “How do I move forward without them?”
“This book made me feel understood for the first time since losing my brother,” wrote one reader. “Suzanne’s story gave me hope.”
Public Speaking and Advocacy
In addition to writing, Suzanne is a passionate speaker and educator. She shares her story at:
- Grief support groups
- Churches and spiritual centers
- Schools and community organizations
- Mental health conferences and podcasts
Her message: Grief does not have to be the end. It can be the beginning of something profoundly meaningful.
