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.

It didn t take long for me to realize that we couldn t carry on as we were we needed to change something if the mill was going to survive but the questions were what and how? We had to learn on our feet and we had to find the talents and skills we needed. What became apparent immediately was that whatever it was we wanted to do, it involved people and that was a different challenge to anything I had experienced before. Along the way I learned how to bring on board those that didn t believe, encourage and support those that did and eventually celebrate the success with all. The story of our journey is one made up of the journeys of the individuals and highlights the need for involvement and engagement in order to succeed. Along the way, we took risks, made leaps of faith but always believed in our path the rewards more than justified our exploits.
