    Preventing Suicide is Possible

    Dillan Kane gives his own account of his brother's suicide at the age of 16. He talks about memories with his brother, his own feelings and fears, as well as the impact it had on his own life.

    Far too often, as in this case, suicide is overlooked. In hindsight all the signs were there but when in the moment the signs become invisible.
    While reading and after completion of this book, I had to personally take a long and hard look at suicide. I've known people that committed suicide and looking back at their lives prior to the act the signs were there. They wanted a way out of their current situation and the only way they felt they could do it is through death.

    I encourage you to read this book. If you know someone that commitment suicide it will give you more insight as to what led him or her to the final decision. If you don't, then I encourage you to read it anyway. The information and knowledge presented may be the catalyst for you to see the warning signs of someone you do know that is contemplating ending the present life.

    Review

    Reviewed by Carol Hoyer, PhD, for Reader Views (5/09)
    Author Dillan Kane's book is one of the most incredible books I have read on suicide. His brother
    killed himself at the age of 16. Like most persons who have experienced this, the author is trying to
    understand why such a thing could happen.
    He begins his book with 'Commonalities of Suicide' that have helped him try to understand a
    suicidal person better. He shares the story of his own brother and many others he has worked with
    that have attempted or completed suicide. When you read this book, it will be just like you were
    having a conversation with the author. He provides much in-depth knowledge about depression,
    suicidal thoughts and the healing process.
    During this conversation with readers, Kane talks about how individuals who feel lost and hopeless
    can't work out their problems and often don't seek the help of others. He also addresses how those
    who are left behind feel hurt and anger- why didn't they see what was happening? Many of us have
    looked back as the author did and realized there were signs, but we couldn't believe that someone
    would deal with problems in that way.
    The last chapter in the book addresses life after death. As the author states, depending on your
    beliefs and spiritual thoughts, we all have different views on this.
    "Thoughts: Life of a Suicide" by Dillan Kane is a very moving and thoughtful look at why suicide
    happens with a lot of great information on signs to look for. As a Psychology instructor for several
    colleges, this is a book I recommended to my students to read and share with others
