Abstract

This feature chronicles the stories of people left behind by suicide – a son trying to hold his family together, a grief-stricken mother who is looking
to adopt, a husband who copes by baking, and a friend who is trying to make
amends. Every story is different, but a common thread binds them, reminding
us that no matter how difficult or painful the circumstances, the human spirit
can prevail. Suicide remains a taboo in Singapore, and through our book, we hope to create more awareness about this vulnerable group, as well as raise more conversations about suicide prevention and postvention. For survivors still suffering in silence, know that you are not alone in this journey. Perhaps this book will offer some comfort and more importantly, give you the strength and hope to keep pushing on.
