Mom, My Life Is Over

Book excerpt: This book was written for several purposes. One of my goals is to share some of the serious warning signs that could indicate that your child or loved one is suicidal. I was not aware or many of these signs that my son exhibited until it was too late. The knowledge I now have on the subject of suicide is of value both to me and to hurting families. If I can open the eyes of mothers, fathers, and siblings who are concerned about a family member, I have honored my son's memory in the best possible way. I also want to warn parents concerning the people we allow to get close to our children. Many times, we are so busy screening our children's friends that we forget to exercise this same discernment when it comes to our relationships. The people we call friends will inevitably spend considerable amounts of time around our children.
