Why? Suicide is never painless is the distressing account of the suicide of a seemingly 'normal' man and the reason why. This book is a disturbing fictional analysis of the ripples of suicide and the pain which reverberates forever. Why do people kill themselves? What pushes a person over the edge so far that they no longer want to live? This book explores the effect suicide has on the family, friends and those on the periphery of this arguably selfish act of self-destruction. The raw emotion and pain of those left behind is almost tangible—how does a child process the death of a parent or a parent that of a child? So many questions but so few answers.
