So how can we as people overcome such an occurrence and what do we do when someone we love has tried to take his or her life but fortunately survived?  This particular half hour will be dedicated to exploring the positive ways we can help those we know and love to move past such an act of self-destruction and learn to live again with a positive outlook for the future.  We hope that you will join us for what will be an empowering and uplifting discussion that will be dedicated to those who are survivors of suicide. 00:34:00lovesthoughtsnosuicide,survivors,mental health,hope,survivalSuicide is certainly a complex topic and affects so many people in vastly tragic ways and this particular show will focus on the way to be positive after experihttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/parkermarchant/2013/09/20/dealing-with-suicideHealthhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/parkermarchant/2013/09/20/dealing-with-suicide/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/parkermarchant/2013/09/20/dealing-with-suicideFri, 20 Sep 2013 20:30:00 GMTThe Complexities of SuicideThis show will be centered around suicide.  We will discuss the reasons it occurs in certain cases and who is most likely to be directly affected by this tragic occurrence.  Suicide is unfortunately not uncommon in modern day society and can often occur without warning in the worse cases.  It is important to recognize the signs when they are present and this segment will address that issue as well.
