Suicide is not something our society is comfortable talking about. Many of us, however, live with some version of a depressive disorder. We have periods in our lives when suicide seems like a legitimate alternative to the pain we are in.
This pamphlet is intentionally short. The 34 pages are divided into 9 quick chapters:
- We Who Feel Alone
- The Fight to Stay
- The Journey
- Day to Day
- In Service
- Strength and Courage
- Treatment when Needed
- When Talk is Not Enough
- When to Discard a Pattern
Designed to be life-affirming, readers are encouraged to continue battling for their lives and/or their mental well being. Readers are cheered on in as they are often literally fighting for their lives. Intentionally designed to be a quick and encouraging because experience has taught us that someone who is emotionally and mentally burdened does not want to work through a dense read.
This bound pamphlet is for those going through depression; those who have, or fear having, suicidal thinking; it can be given to a friend or loved one who needs encouragement; it can be kept on hand for yourself when you need a personal cheerleader.
