It provides an inside look from first-person accounts of individuals who experienced suicidal ideation and survived a suicide attempt. It gives insight into the subjective realities of crisis, recovery, and meaning-making.These narratives are enriched with testimonies from caregivers, gatekeepers, and helping professionals who work closely with people considering suicide. Their perspectives illuminate the emotional, ethical, and practical dimensions of care, as well as the regularly unseen impact of suicide prevention work on those who provide support.This book engages a wide range of topics, including suicide prevention strategies, the role and interpretation of suicide notes, stigma, protective factors, and the development of well-being, resilience, and reflective practice among caregivers and gatekeepers. Rather than offering prescriptive solutions, the book emphasises dialogue, critical reflection, and empathetic understanding.The authors wrote this book for clinicians, educators, students, caregivers, and readers seeking a greater understanding of suicide. They want to contribute to ongoing conversations about prevention, responsibility, and different paths which can be taken. Darkness may shape experience, but it does not define its outcome.

From the Back Cover
Dit boek behandelt een breed scala aan onderwerpen, waaronder strategieën voor suïcidepreventie, de rol en interpretatie van afscheidsbrieven, stigma, beschermende factoren en de ontwikkeling van welzijn, veerkracht en reflectieve praktijk bij mantelzorgers en poortwachters. In plaats van voorschrijvende oplossingen aan te bieden, legt het boek de nadruk op dialoog, kritische reflectie en empathisch begrip.
De auteurs schreven dit boek voor clinici, docenten, studenten, mantelzorgers, nabestaanden en lezers die een beter begrip van zelfdoding zoeken. Zij willen bijdragen aan voortdurende gesprekken over preventie, verantwoordelijkheid en de verschillende wegen die kunnen worden bewandeld. Duisternis kan ervaringen vormgeven, maar bepaalt niet de uitkomst ervan.
