Description
Nearly all of us in times of desperation and fear may
say "I wish I was dead." There are a few who may
attempt or carry out that wish. This story is about
Jonathan Smalley, a 59 year-old laid-off company
executive who attempted suicide. He is confined
to a suicide watch ward. He tells the stories of his
fellow patients who attempted to take their own
lives. Suicides transcend regions, religions, races,
ethnic cultures, and classes. In the early 2000s,
Russians had among the highest suicide rates in
the world. In the U.S. was the 11th leading cause
of death. Men do it nearly four times the rate of
women representing 80 percent of all suicides.
"Desperate Lives" provides insights into the
suicidal mind. The narrative is based on the real
life stories of patients in a Suicide Watch ward.
