You are invited to the book launch of "What I Would Have Missed: Stories by Suicide Ideation, Attempt, and Loss Survivors."
This powerful collection weaves together the voices of suicide ideation and attempt survivors alongside suicide loss survivors — recognizing many individuals hold survival and grief in the same breath. The book also offers grounding activities, reflection and journaling spaces, statistics and insights on suicide, and thoughtfully curated resources for readers across many journeys.
The evening will include a reading by Julie A. Rocco, conversation about the international movement behind the book, a Q&A, and time to connect. Books will be available for purchase and signing. Beverages and hors d'oeuvres will be served.
Doors Open 6:30PM
Author's Talk 7:00 - 7:30PM
Book Signing. 7:30PM until close
