Studies show that about 6% of persons in the United States are considering suicide. That's about 18 million persons. Fortunately, most of these persons will find a way to emerge from their Night of suicidal thinking and will live productive lives. It is less fortunate that most of these persons will never speak of their experience. This is a tragic loss since the persons most able to identify with those considering suicide are silenced and effectively removed as resources in the work of suicide prevention. Little will change in the rates of suicide in the United States until Second Day persons can step forward and make their insights available to those living in desparation.
