Please Don't Kill Yourself

Please Don't Kill Yourself is about the indescribable pain that is experienced when first hearing about your beloved's suicide. A knifelike pain enters the heart and seems to turn with every unfolding of the circumstances that led to this untimely death. You know that life will never be the same yet you're compelled to know why? In this devastated state, no stone is left unturned to expose the causes until a picture emerges that implicates many circumstances. These include hijacking at knife and gunpoint, charges of embezzlement, adultery, social ineptitude, and sheer tragedy, hopefully interspersed with a dash of humor. A new entity of light replaces the darkness in the heart and truth gives way to hope until the survivor of suicide is able to “hug” the sorrow to themselves while cherishing their beloved's memory and their renewed life. While writing, the author observed families who can’t understand why their child killed themselves. Veterans are killing themselves, as are drug addicts and many who can't cope with living. With the best will in the world, no human intervention can change those thoughts and minds. It is only with the “all-comprehensive gift” of God that there is hope for the future.
