Summary
What I Wish I Had Known: Resisting the Urge to Live explores the complex web of factors leading to suicide.
It examines relevant research, philosophy, literature, first-hand accounts by bereaved parents (including that of the author), and in-depth interviews. It is a 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, to actually kill themselves.
Suicide of a son, a daughter, a sibling, a parent, a partner, will often have a severe impact not only on their immediate family, but also their workplace and the community. The impact may extend over generations.
This book is aimed at family, friends and workmates, who may benefit from recognising the red flags for suicide and at the wider community to reduce the stigma still associated with it.
