Writer Joost Zwagerman threw himself over the years as a bringer consolation for the families of people who had ended their lives made
So he spoke in November 2010 in Rotterdam comforting words at a meeting for bereaved relatives and friends of people who had thrown himself in front of the train. That meeting was organized by the NS and funeral director Monuta who wanted to draw attention to the problem of suicide. Zwagerman then suggested ,, the bereaved suicide are treated differently from illness or accident ”.
,, A voluntary death chases many people on the run, ” Zwagerman said. ,, You get no woe, such as after a natural death. In a suicide people have it but prefer not to. “
The writer told his audience at the time that his father turn of the century had made a suicide attempt. ,, By chance he was found, but he was three weeks in intensive care, ” said Zwagerman then. ,, This was not the intention, my father said when he awoke. Now he’s glad he’s still alive, but in these three weeks we have an overwhelming silence to experience us. ”
In 2005 he also wrote a book about suicide with the title by own hand . On his own website, he wrote that every year more than 30,000 people in the Netherlands are trying to take his own life. In approximately fifteen hundred people that attempt succeeds. ,, That’s more people than there are in circulation every year, ” said Zwagerman. He wanted to make clear in the book what it means to be a friend, family member or parent to lose by suicide
