Speaking of Suicide

Tom van den Hurk - A life reborn


Listen Later

"The first thought that went through my head was that it was not meant to be... ...this is not the end of your story, you are still needed on this planet, in this life"

Key takeaways from this podcast

We don't always have internal permission to do something, to open up. So by doing it slowly, gently and carefully Tom was building courage to remove stigma.

Tom van den Hurk revealed his own suicide attempt in a previous episode of the podcast when he was talking about called A Little While Longer. The film told the story of three men who had survived and were rebuilding their lives.

But Tom had his own story, that the film didn’t tell. He had attempted to take his own life when he was a teen, Tom joins Dan again to talk about the how the day he survived that attempt, age 16, turned his entire life around.
