I knew someone who commited suicide personally, not terribly well but enough to wonder if it was anything to do with me. It always has that effect. I was shocked by the residual anger of his closest friend.Rose C'est La Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193872186283731567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205231727184713705.post-54941196098270747632010-02-12T17:13:13.348-05:002010-02-12T17:13:13.348-05:00I've only known people who had to live in the ...I've only known people who had to live in the direct wake of a suicide. I have never been personally acquainted with someone who took their life, so I don't know whether A. Alvarez' book "The Savage God" holds up under either a survivor's or a health professional's scrutiny. It did awaken me somewhat to the kind of anguish the suicide is struggling to end. There are some brutal phantoms wandering the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205231727184713705.post-85956863951232339342010-02-12T11:48:30.716-05:002010-02-12T11:48:30.716-05:00Home, thank you for keeping this conversation goin...Home, thank you for keeping this conversation going.

When I did pr in the mental health world, I thought that suicide, particularly in the young, is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Hope this death does not set off many others, which, unfortunately, often happens.home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205231727184713705.post-8946743745312687202010-02-12T10:25:41.249-05:002010-02-12T10:25:41.249-05:00oh Blue, I think many of us have one of those.
