Research shows that 90 percent of individuals who survive suicide attempts do not go on to die by suicide. The desire to end one's life, though serious, can be transient and influenced by underlying issues. Survivors often discover new reasons to live, such as bonds with loved ones or aspirations for a positive future. Personal accounts, like that of Kevin Hines, highlight the impermanence of suicidal thoughts and the significance of having a second chance to appreciate life and create meaningful connections.
"According to the Harvard School of Public Health, 90 percent of people who survive a suicide attempt don't go on to kill themselves. Suicidal crises are often short-lived."
"Most people who survive an attempt find reasons to live. It might be family, friends, or a vow to do something positive with their remaining years in gratitude for being given a second chance."
