Confronting Midlife Suicide.


February 21, 2020
Have you lost anyone to suicide? During the Great Recession, I lost five friends - all men 42 to 52 - during a two and a half year period when I was feeling cursed myself.

In the past twenty years, the midlife suicide rate in the U.S. has grown by nearly 50%. Why don’t we see this as a public health crisis?

I did this extremely candid “Belly of the Beast Life Stories” well-produced podcast a few months ago and it went live recently. I was a little awkward when I first listened to it because I don’t think I’ve ever been more open about the most challenging time of my life. Hope you find it illuminating about a dark topic.
