In her highly acclaimed book, Susan Blaunera survivor of multiple suicide attemptsoffers guidance and hope for those contemplating ending their lives and for their loved ones.Each word written with thoughtful intent; each story told with the deepest of honesty and humility, and in doing so Blauner puts forward a life-saving book.'Daniel J. Reidenberg, PsyD, Executive Director,Suicide Awareness Voices of Education (www.save.org)I continued to romanticize my death by suicide: who would find me; what Id look like.

Then reality hit.Susan Rose BlaunerThe statistics on suicide are staggering. The World Health Organization estimates that nearly800,000 people die by suicide every year, which is one person every 40 seconds, and for each completed suicide there may be twenty or more attempts.In How I Stayed Alive When My Brain Was Trying to Kill Me, Susan Blauner is the perfect emissary for a message of hope and a program of action for these millions of people. A survivor of multiple suicide attempts, she explains the complex feelings and fantasies that surround suicidal thoughts. In a direct, nonjudgmental, and loving voice, she offers affirmations and suggestions for those experiencing life-ending thoughts, and for their friends and family. With an introduction by Bernie Siegel, M.D., this important, timely book has now been updated with a revised resources section, and a new chapter on the authors experiences since the books initial publication.
