Let’s face it. Suicide sucks.

Why did the boy jump off the bridge? Could I have prevented it?

Why has it taken me so long to bury my brother? Why live? 

This dark comedy attempts to answer these questions ...and more.

The show will be followed by a discussion with Dr. Richard Brockman, whose latest book, LIFE AFTER DEATH,SURVIVING SUICIDE, will be published in August '23.
