The Leftover Pieces; Suicide Loss Conversations

Sharon Survived; How She Defined Her Why


Listen Later

Today I share my conversation with suicide attempt survivor Sharon Greenwald. Hear her share her story and how it has led her to find her "why" and a life of purpose AND happiness! She talks openly about depression and where it took her... to an attempt on her life that she feels she only survived by divine intervention. Sharon wrote her memoir with the intention of propelling the conversation surrounding suicide and depression to break down the walls of stigma, to help ease the guilt loss survivors feel and to help slow the current rate of the suicide epidemic. This is an important one!

Find Sharon & her book at the LINKs here:

  • Sixty-Ninth Street Suicide Instagram


  • Purchase her Memoir "Sixty-Ninth Street Suicide"  HERE on Amazon


  •  And there's also a  Group on Facebook at Sixty-Ninth Street Suicide
