Part 2 of my 3 part series on suicide. I delve a little more into my own story while sharing a powerful theory of suicide development from a friend at the VA's Suicide Prevention office and Dr. Thomas Joiner's great book, Why People Die by Suicide. It's a powerful theory because the more we understand why people make unthinkable to us choices, the better we are able to help them and help ourselves. The key to suicide prevention is relationships that allow us to show people another path.
