Suicide Prevention Awareness Month- On My Nightstand: My 20-Year-Old Brother Died By Suicide. Here’s Why I Almost Joined Him by Lisa Cooper Ellison


Listen Later

On this final Friday of Suicide Prevention Awareness month, we wanted to bring you this powerful piece that my friend, writer, writing coach, speaker, and editor, Lisa Cooper Ellison wrote for Huffpo.

Lisa Cooper Ellison is a speaker, writing coach, and editor with an Ed.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a background in mindfulness. Her life story and essays have appeared on NPR’s With Good Reason and in Hippocampus Literary Magazine, Kenyon Review Online, and The Guardian, among others. She's currently working on a memoir about how traveling with her husband’s heavy metal band into post-Bosnian-War Yugoslavia soon after her brother's suicide led to a promise that ultimately saved her. To learn more, you can check out her website or you can follow her on Twitter @LisaEllisonsPen.
