Irrevocable, Irreplaceable You is about suicide. More importantly, it is about life.
This book is a collection of my encounters with suicide as a witness and as a bystander. For a number of years, I have felt pressed to examine these events to discover why a person would choose suicide and to document the ramifications that suicide imposes on the families and friends left behind.
Suicide may seem to be a personal choice, one owned by the perpetrator alone. But it is a choice made in conjunction with all that surrounds the life taken. It is inclusive of what's gone before and what might be.
The more I looked at these events, the more mysterious suicide became to me, the more elusive and unresolvable. The tougher it became to find the whys. The only definite answer I found was personal. These experiences I had unexpectedly stumbled into strengthened my own regard for life. They gave me a heightened appreciation for living.
I'm sharing these stories with you because of the possibilities of what might be for those left behind and for those who consider the unthinkable.
