Choosing to Live PDF
by Cliff Williams
Description
Choosing to Live contains stories about people who tried to commit suicide, told in their own words, based on the author's interviews with them.
Each story serves as a source of encouragement and speaks with a clear voice to all those who struggle with suicide to assure them that they are not alone.
Choosing to Live is a must-read for individuals with suicidal feelings and for their relatives and friends who have suffered with them.
Caregivers will gain new insights into the mental anguish that taunts individuals who battle the inner turmoil of facing each new day.
The author believes that people crave to tell the story of their lives, even if it involves wanting to die.
The names of the people involved have been changed, including identifying details, to preserve anonymity.
Specific topics include: rejection, overwhelming stress, bullying, painful memories, teenage stresses, ups and downs, parental abuse, depression and anxiety, breakup of a significant relationship, lack of support, shame and addiction, dysfunctional relationships, and suicide of a parent.
Choosing to Live provides a voice to those who have attempted suicide.
It will serve as a valuable resource for psychiatrists, social workers, crisis counselors, clergy, medical practitioners, social welfare personnel, human service workers, and primary care providers.
