"Even with 30 years in social work, I didn’t
fully comprehend suicidal thinking until the author of A
Second Day, Russ Crabtree, came to speak to my class.
He shared more than facts; he shared that part of
himself which allowed survivors of the dark night of
suicidal thinking to end their silence. At the same time
he taught how to come along side someone contemplating
suicide and help them to enter the second day when the
“black fire of suicidal thoughts has been
extinguished”. He doesn’t present a lecture; he
provides an experience."

Hello,
I am a Second Day person.
I am a person who spent some time in the Night of suicidal thinking
when I seriously considered suicide as an option for ending my life.
My name is Russ Crabtree, but many of my
friends call me Fe Anam Avis, which means faith - soul - bird.
I changed my legal name as one part of the rebirth process required
to survive. I tell my story in the book A Second Day.
As a former pastor, I dealt with a number of families who lost
loved ones to suicide...too many. Now, we are collecting
stories of hope in The Second Day Project that can be made
available to those in the Night of suicidal thinking. To learn
more about The Second Day Project click
here.
If you are a Second Day person, that is, if you went through a time
in your life when you seriously considered suicide, and you found a
way out, others need to hear your story.
