The topic of this dissertation focuses on the experience of family members who have lost a loved one to suicide. Using the story of Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32:22-31 as a backdrop against which we might view suicide in more compassionate ways, the author brings our attention to the graciousness of the Divine in matters of complexity, where there is grayness and a shadow side. This is a phenomenological study that explores the concepts of 'blessing' and 'wound' - what it is like to live with 'both/and,' rather than overcoming, as Jacob needed to learn to live with both a blessing and a wound. The author conducted four interviews and includes portions of their stories to explore what it is like to live with both 'blessing' and 'wound' within the context and aftermath of suicide.
