Why I Decided Not to Kill Myself
How do we get to the point where we think about suicide? Is it trauma, crushed dreams, loss of relationship, physical or mental decline, discouragement, depression, loss of income, fear of a long and painful death, guilt and shame, failure to attain goals, being rejected by loved ones, or maybe just not caring anymore?
What would make us turn away from that decision? Could it be not giving enemies the satisfaction, not wanting to hurt loved ones or even people who don't even know you, or coming up with other options?
The author is a Baptist pastor in his 6th decade of ministry. He admits his own struggles and brings to the reader an honest assessment of personal failures and grappling with the results. He also brings admissions from others who responded to his request for their stories.
