A Life of Suicides: One Woman's Suicide, Three Times

This set of three short stories, although separate, are deeply entwined. Rebecca is the character at the centre of all three, which are told from very different points in her life. In Each story Rebecca takes her own life.

This trio focus purely on the harrowing and tragic act of death by suicide. These are intimately portrayed in unavoidable, emotional and horrific detail, so that the reader cannot look away.

This is a subject matter riddled with fear, guilt and even shame for both those that experience suicidal thoughts themselves and the loved ones left in the aftermath of such a devastating death should it occur, as such it is still unfortunately taboo. Given the numbers reported each year by the office of national statistics, it is important for it not to be such. Suicidal thoughts and feelings can run very deep and those who may experience them need to be able to open up freely without fear of judgment or ridicule. Mental Health and true unbiased individualised support really does matter.

Although this is a work of fiction, each story gives an insight into some of the thoughts and feelings that could trigger an individual to decide to take their own life. It is rarely, if ever, a snap decision nor is it a simple one.

"The reality of a suicidal mind. A real heartbreaking but honest look at how depression and suicide transforms in an unhealthy mind. Beautifully written with such true insight. A cut to the bone look at suicide." Fiona (Amazon reviewer)
