First off, man… I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine.

Below are some insights from Jason Holzer. Enjoy!

Can you share one thing you loved or admired most about your dad?

His work ethic… He always did things the right way. He was an electrician which meant he had to be very detailed oriented and focused on what he was doing at his job.

How did your dad’s decision to take his own life impact you, & those who loved him?

It was devastating. He was such a good man to so many people. He was funny, caring, and involved. His loss not only hit me hard, it hit the community hard as well.

What is your advice for someone who’s down & thinking suicide may be the only way out?

There are so many people who love you. Suicide only ends the chances of life getting better, and it will get better if we learn to stack good choices on top of each other. Things like daily exercises, eating healthier, picking the right group of friends, being thankful, setting goals that serve others, etc.

For our listeners who have lost someone due to suicide, what advice can you share with them?

Continuous forgiveness is key. Every celebration is always a reminder that a loved one isn’t there so they are all bittersweet. However, forgiveness allows you to let go of the pain and negative emotions and gives you the opportunity to focus on being present and finding happiness. Your life will never be the same, but it doesn’t have to define you. You still have the choice to make your life a little better every day.

What made you decide to write your book & use this pain to help others?

I felt there was a need in our society as I kept reading about suicide rates going up. I felt like if people knew what others went through went they lost someone to suicide, they would think twice about it. Also to help others who have gone through a similar circumstance to have someone that can relate to what they may be going through.
