About Me

Did you know that suicide is the 10th leading cause of death and growing? Some say it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, but it is more than that; it does not end sorry; it ends hope. And it is the beginning of the sorrow of sorrows for those left behind. Suicide is cruel and selfish. My father may have committed suicide to escape from something, but he left me in a seemingly never-ending cycle of rage. This blog is about an honest look at suicide. It contains the stories, the facts, and the fiction. It is about those who considered suicide and how they fought it. And for those who suffered by being left behind, how they reconstructed their lives.

This is not about endings but beginnings. Somewhere along the way, I'll tell you why I named this blog Misfire, but we're not there yet. Please stay, read and tell your story
