On Hiatus
Dear Reader, For the time being, I’ve put my blog on hiatus. In the meantime, if you would like to watch a a couple of documentaries I produced for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention on the experience of suicide loss, please click here. Also, if you are a recent loss survivor, I urge you to attend a an International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day event in your community. For more information about Survivor Day, please click here.
All best,
Eric
About This Blog
Welcome to my blog, which grew out of my experience as a suicide survivor and my experience writing Why Suicide? (see below). On occasion I’ll be posting an essay based on something I’ve read, someone I’ve met, an experience I’ve had, or just a memory of someone in my life who took his or her life. If you have a thought on something I’ve written, I hope you won’t hesitate to join the conversation by leaving a comment.
