Silence EPUB

Suicide now is the eighth cause of death in the United States, yet it is discussed in hushedwhispers or not at all. SILENCE is based, in part, on a true story about a wealthy, respected, successful family; whatmany of us would label the "perfect" family.

On first blush, it appears to be a story aboutreversal of fortunes, but on deeper analysis it is about self-destructive personalities that lead tosuicide.

SUICIDE gives the viewing audience the chance to recognize the depths of thesetragedies on small doses until they can get to the point of saying, "Suicide is not a personaltragedy but a family watershed." The guilt left behind immobilizes even the most stable familiesand leaves lifetime emotional scars. Suicide can be addressed when families grasp the warning signs; rage, hopelessness, loss ofcontrol and important feelings of coping with life. SILENCE ends by giving people a philosophy that is believed to be the germ of heading offsuicide- "WE all have time to understand and know each other, but we don't.".
