Description
Australian author Denise Robinson is familiar with the word suicide. She experienced first-hand, the sad loss of immediate family members and friends. When people that close to you decide to end their own lives it is sure to have a profound impact at that very moment in one's life and for the remaining years thereafter.
Denise Robinson decided to highlight, that indeed, suicide is not a dirty word. In fact, it is a decision made by people who are so advanced in their choosing of their own destiny that often times the ones left behind find it traumatizing to comprehend. Many unanswered questions often ring, "Why take their own life? What drove them? How could they do it?" All-too-common questions are often asked after the aftermath but very rarely does anyone - who has not suffered from severe depression - fully understand the reasons before that fateful decision.
It is like a cancer that can spread; spread so far that there is almost a point of no return. Denise Robinson's experience; clearly very harrowing, can be a source of help and perhaps a means of comfort for anyone suffering and might just help to end the stigma of depression and highlight that suicide, is indeed, not a dirty word.
I have read this book and not only is it well written, but it is cuttingly truthful and raw.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking from someone who has also experienced firsthand the loss of a loved one, who has been confronted by the stigma, pity and so called-embarrassment of suicide, it is liberating to find someone strong enough to voice "Suicide is not a Dirty Word".
This book gives the remaining loved ones a voice to be heard, a voice of strength, confidence and undiluted understanding for their lost ones.
