The statistics on suicide are staggering. The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 800,000 people die by suicide every year, which is one person every forty seconds, and for each completed suicide there may be twenty or more attempts. In How I Stayed Alive When My Brain Was Trying to Kill Me, Susan Blauner is the perfect emissary for a message of hope and a program of action for these millions of people.

What to Do Right Now When Your Child Is Suicidal has been reviewed by expert psychiatrists, therapists, and suicide prevention advocates. The book provides step-by-step guidance from author Tara Rolstad, who also shares her own story of parenting young people with suicidal ideation.

Suicide would appear to be the last taboo. Even incest is now discussed freely in popular media, but the suicide of a loved one is still an act most people are unable to talk about or even admit to their closest family or friends. This is just one of the many painful and paralyzing truths that author Carla Fine discovered when her husband, a successful young physician, took his own life in December 1989. And being unable to speak openly and honestly about the cause of her pain made it all the more difficult for her to survive.

In the wake of a suicide, the most troubling questions are the most difficult to answer: How could we have known? What could we have done? And always: Why? Written by a clinical psychologist whose own life has been touched by suicide, this book offers the clearest account ever given of why some people choose to die.

A powerful, heartbreaking and informative search for answers, to what can be done to prevent those—often young men suffering from intense psychological pain—who have the strength to go against all survival instincts, and actually kill themselves. It examines relevant research, philosophy, literature, first-hand accounts by bereaved parents (including that of the author), and in-depth interviews.

"Albert," the neighbor said, "your mom needs you to come home." That's how it began for Albert Hsu when his father died. Anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide experiences tremendous shock and trauma. What follows is a confusing mix of emotions - anger, guilt, grief, and despair.

These are suicide notes. If you are triggered or, are already thinking about suicide please call your local. Emergency department. Or call a local ”distress” line or a ”crisis” line.

Just outside of Tokyo lies Aokigahara, a vast forest and one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in Japan...and also the most infamous spot to commit suicide in the world. Legend has it that the spirits of those many suicides are still roaming, haunting deep in the ancient woods. When bad weather prevents a group of friends from climbing neighboring Mt. Fuji, they decide to spend the night camping in Aokigahara. But they get more than they bargained for when one of them is found hanged in the morning - and they realize there might be some truth to the legends after all.

“When the silence becomes too loud”The desire to die can also be understandable—for example, when life becomes a burden.But as long as we still feel something inside us—curiosity, joy, connection—it is worth staying here.However, we can live consciously today—and with every decision we make, we can get a little closer to ourselves.Almost every second suicide in Germany affects people, or seniors, aged 65 and over.
