On page 171, you talk about this idea that scholars have talked about that when you have someone you love who
dies through suicide that you're called a survivor.
And it's the idea that you survived another person's suicide like a car crash.
And you said that you write about a scholar saying that that's reductionist.
The quote is it's focused on blaming the suicidal person and ignoring interlocking systems of oppression that lead to a life being unlivable.
That was a line that just stopped me in my tracks and I underlined multiple times.
That idea of what is it that makes someone's life unlivable and how that as so much broader than any one story feels like a really different way of thinking about it, a really important way of thinking about it.
I had this thought, which I think is like very pervasive, that is like you don't want to give the person the idea.
Totally.
So you can't talk about suicide because like then if you say the word, all of a sudden they go, Hey, hold on.
That's an idea.
And it's like, of course they know.
Like the whole point is that they know that.
And if you like don't talk about if there's this shame and this darkness and this stigma, you can't um you can't share how you're feeling.
And when you can't share how you're feeling, you can get stuck in a place where you feel like there's only one way out.
Yeah.
Um
And so that I think is like one of the biggest things that I learned is that if you ha if you know someone who is suffering, like talk to them about don't dodge it.
Don't say like, uh it's kind of tough lately.
It's like, hey, are you are you thinking about hurting yourself?
