<font face="TimesNewRoman"></font> <p align="left">Author Dillan Kane’s book is one of the most incredible books I have read on suicide. His brother</p> <p align="left">killed himself at the age of 16. Like most persons who have experienced this, the author is trying to</p> <p align="left">understand why such a thing could happen.</p> <p align="left">He begins his book with ‘Commonalities of Suicide’ that have helped him try to understand a</p> <p align="left">suicidal person better. He shares the story of his own brother and many others he has worked with</p> <p align="left">that have attempted or completed suicide. When you read this book, it will be just like you were</p> <p align="left">having a conversation with the author. He provides much in-depth knowledge about depression,</p> <p align="left">suicidal thoughts and the healing process.</p> <p align="left">During this conversation with readers, Kane talks about how individuals who feel lost and hopeless</p> <p align="left">can’t work out their problems and often don’t seek the help of others. He also addresses how those</p> <p align="left">who are left behind feel hurt and anger- why didn’t they see what was happening? Many of us have</p> <p align="left">looked back as the author did and realized there were signs, but we couldn’t believe that someone</p> <p align="left">would deal with problems in that way.</p> <p align="left">The last chapter in the book addresses life after death. As the author states, depending on your</p> <p align="left">beliefs and spiritual thoughts, we all have different views on this.</p> <p align="left">“Thoughts: Life of a Suicide” by Dillan Kane is a very moving and thoughtful look at why suicide</p> <p align="left">happens with a lot of great information on signs to look for. As a Psychology instructor for several</p> <p>colleges, this is a book I recommended to my students to read and share with others</p>
