Acerca de esta escucha
Six foot one at 13 years old. Dark blond hair and his eyes the clearest chartreuse, like spring water filled with tiny green flowers. Yet it was not those attributes that made him beautiful; it was his love of life, the way he lightened up a room with laughter...and the trail he blazed on a foundation of suicide.
On March 22, 2011, Jason Paul Legere, 13, went upstairs, took out his mom’s gun, and shot himself. Shot himself at just before eight a.m. on a random Tuesday morning, with his mother and three other brothers downstairs.
The aftermath that follows is that of being completely overcome by the loss and stigma of suicide. In the wake of darkness it leaves behind as a family, a mother deals with the ever-present question of why. This is the story of how, one day, his mother looked in the mirror and said, “What are you doing? Stop the pity party. Choose. Do you choose to wallow in your sorrows until it completely destroys you? Or do you choose your son, to live and take his light and make a difference, make a stance, and be the change?”
I chose him; I chose my son; I chose my family; I chose life.
This is my story on how I was overcome by suicide but then had the guts to overcome suicide.
“It is not what you go through, it is how you come through it.” (Kimberly Tocco, a.k.a. Tenacious T)

A powerful, moving memoir - and a practical guide to healing - written by Dr. Edith Eva Eger, an eminent psychologist whose own experiences as a Holocaust survivor help her treat patients and allow them to escape the prisons of their own minds. The Choice weaves Eger's personal story with case studies from her work as a psychologist. Her patients and their stories illustrate different phases of healing and show how people can choose to escape the prisons they construct in their minds and find freedom, regardless of circumstance.

With burns on 100 percent of his body, O'Leary mustered an almost unimaginable amount of inner strength just to survive the ordeal. The insights he gained through this experience and the heroes who stepped into his life to help him through the journey - his family, the medical staff, and total strangers - changed his life. Now he is committed to living life to the fullest and inspiring others to do the same.

His grandfather’s lynching in the deep South, the murders of his two older brothers, and his verbally harsh and absent father all worked together to form Jason Wilson’s childhood. But it was his decision to acknowledge his emotions and yield to God’s call on his life that made Wilson the man and leader he is today. As the founder of one of the country’s most esteemed youth organizations, Wilson explains the dangers men face in our culture’s definition of “masculinity” and gives listeners hope that healing is possible.

On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold walked into Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Over the course of minutes, they would kill 12 students and a teacher and wound 24 others before taking their own lives. For the last 16 years, Sue Klebold, Dylan's mother, has lived with the indescribable grief and shame of that day. How could her child, the promising young man she had loved and raised, be responsible for such horror? And how, as his mother, had she not known something was wrong?

On August 6, 2011, 30 American soldiers aboard Extortion 17 perished in the single greatest loss of Navy SEAL lives. Among them - Aaron Carson Vaughn, a small-town boy who grew up in the hills of Tennessee and lived a life larger than most. Told through the eyes of Karen, Aaron's mother, this tender story of faith, family, and love grips the heart and shows how one family raised an American warrior filled with courage, tenacity, and patriotism. The Vaughn's story is not one about war or about a grieving family, but rather one of triumph.

Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, “How on earth did things get so hard?” I have—more times than I can count. I’ll never forget how helpless I felt when it seemed like our life was falling apart, when our oldest daughter faced seemingly endless brushes with death, or when our finances were in shambles. In those moments, I felt everything I’d ever dreamed of, or God had ever promised, was shattering at my feet. But I’ll also never forget when things changed, when on the darkest of days I heard a voice whisper, “There is beauty in the broken.”

At a time when we mourn public figures and national tragedies with hashtags, where intimate posts about loss go viral and we receive automated birthday reminders for dead friends, it's clear we are navigating new terrain without a road map. Let's face it: Most of us have always had a difficult time talking about death and sharing our grief. We're awkward and uncertain; we avoid, ignore, or even deny feelings of sadness; we offer platitudes; we send sympathy bouquets whittled out of fruit.

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognizable structures to define a modern city. Yet, for author Kevin Hines the bridge is not merely a marker of a place or a time. Instead, the bridge marks the beginning of his remarkable story. At 19-years-old, Kevin attempted to take his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge - a distance which took four seconds to fall. Recently diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, Kevin had begun to hear voices telling him he had to die, and days before his attempt, he began to believe them. The fall would break his body, but not his spirit.

A story of hope and resilience
I knew from the first chapter that I would be moved and at the same time enlightened by the courage and strength of this story. A loss no parent or sibling or friend should ever live through, a pain so great one cannot fathom how you can stay above water long enough not to be pulled down again. But here it is. A story of pain turned into hope and resilience. A story that demonstrates that listening to your inner heart and seeing the signs, oh the signs you described brought me chills, one can overcome, be uplifted by uplifting others. Most of all keeping his memory alive. I applauded you Kimberly. I recommend you all listen to each and every last word of this incredible story as it takes you from tragedy to hope and survival. Big hugs my friend.
