Carving Hope Out of Depression: Victory Over Darkness and a Path to Self-Love
Description:
DEPRESSION ● LONELINESS ● HOPELESSNESS ● SUICIDE
Words and feelings unspoken-yet screaming in the hearts and minds of millions!
Carving Hope Out of Depression-Victory Over Darkness and a Path to Self-Love is a personal account of how depression can push an individual toward suicide. Author David Harder shares his raw, real-life experiences, not for pity or to offer excuses, but to bring hope and life within every broken heart and mind.
Thinking that suicide was the only answer, he searched for explanations that would justify his death and end the pain. Misguided, he confused death with no more pain, but nothing could be further from the truth. Suicide leaves a tragic and mysterious abyss in the lives of families, friends, associates, and even casual acquaintances. No one can make sense of the loss-for the rest of their lives; they carry in their hearts the black hole suicide leaves behind.
