About this listen

This collection of true stories will invite you to lean into the process of understanding the larger implications of how suicide affects others. This book poses several questions.

What happens to the people left behind when someone commits suicide?

How do the survivors navigate the grieving process? Which methods do they use? Do they ever recover from such a profound trauma?

These questions are answered through the written submissions of the 26 contributors to this work.

Each year in the United States, approximately 40,000 people commit suicide, making suicide the tenth leading cause of death for Americans. The number of annual suicides in the United States is double that of the number of homicides.

For every completed suicide, there are approximately six survivors. This means roughly 240,000 suicide loss survivors were created in the United States just this year.

Not a comforting journey

Most of the stories in this book seemed extraordinarily tragic, and a little weird at times. Some stories went on and on in a direction that wasn't necessarily related to the story, and could have been edited out. I was looking for some comfort and common ground with these people, this was not found here. I did not feel connected to most of these stories.

The narrator was a little dry, and when quoting people in the story, he actually changed his voice in an attempt to sound like them (a woman, an elderly person), which came off as somewhat condescending. I don't think this was necessary. There were some obvious mispronunciations of some common words which is a complete distraction from the story they are telling.
