Suicide: Breaking Through
Today marks the seventh anniversary of my husband's funeral AND my cousin's suicide. I've learned the reason for suicide began long before my first attempt and, as it turns out, also is true for my cousin.

Suicide note: Check. Pills: Check. Goodbye cruel world.
This is part two of my three-part series on suicide. This time we visit my second attempt and how deep into the abyss I had fallen before getting back up.

Suicide begins long before an attempt. I know. I tried twice. Read my story in a new three-part series.

Hi Boomers,
Here's what I'm thinking these days. I've spent my entire career (and it's been a long one) working w/ people to navigate life. (I'm a former therapist turned life coach.) With my novel being shipped this week, I want to extend an offer to those of you who feel like your project won't ever see the light of day. Believe me, if this 61 year old can do it, so can you! I don't claim to have all of the answers but if there is anything my writing/publishing expereince can help you with, I'm here. No charge for my two cents ... since I don't profess to have all of the answers! This is just one writer to another. Shoot me an email, tracey@thesecondhalfonline.com
