Suicide - why does it happen? how can we help? why do people run when you need them the most?

The book-Why Whisper? is a mother’s gripping account of her journey
alongside grief after her 32-year-old son committed suicide. When
her son took his own life, a portion of the author’s life also died
with him. Joanne Mazzotta bares her soul and her skeletons to bring
us an honest and insightful look at addiction, loss, hope, suicide,
and the enduring power of love. People need to know that a person
who commits suicide did not really want to die, they just wanted
the pain to go away. Think about that before you pass judgement.
