Suicide Salad is a tossed salad of true stories and reflections from a brave woman who learned how to add enough salad dressing to enable her to digest the chunkier, least savory bits of life she kept finding in her bowl. Expect a few rough journeys as a testimony to how resilient one soul can be in the face of adversity. As of June 2021, the WHO estimated an annual global suicide rate of over 700, 000 (and many more unsuccessful attempts). It is crucial to dispel the stigmas attached to suicide as a starting point to heal various inter-generational traumas. With this book, the author aims to create greater social awareness of suicide, and other challenges, to ensure that these stigmas are diminished, sooner rather than later. Amanda has spent most of her life in South Africa. In her lifetime, she experienced the loss of more than a few loved ones in various ways-and too many to suicide. As a young mother, it was her husband, and as a grandmother, she would lose her youngest daughter, with many others in between. On the other side of the masks she wore to get through the days that were meant to break her, she found her way through many of life's challenges, including health issues, depression, divorce, abuse, addictions, and unimaginable grief.And she still finds a reason to get up and share a smile with the world.
