Frigault.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For more than 50 years, Dr. Frigault guided others out of the darkness. He helped them to face personal mental health struggles and to overcome thoughts of suicide. In this book, he reveals the painful truth behind his life\u2019s work: he, too, was battling an inner voice \u2013 born from the devastating loss of his older brother to suicide at a young age \u2014 that beckoned him toward the same fate.<\/p>\n<p>This deeply moving and eye-opening book is more than a memoir. It\u2019s a testament to the human spirit\u2019s ability to endure and rise. Dr. Frigault takes readers on a journey through grief, resilience and renewal. He offers powerful insight into suicide\u2019s emotional, historical and philosophical roots. He draws from personal experience and clinical expertise, and dispels harmful myths, illuminates warning signs and encourages life-saving dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>As suicide rates continue to climb (53,000+ lives were lost to suicide in North America in 2023), Dr. Frigault\u2019s message is more urgent than ever. He is available for interviews to discuss his book, suicide prevention efforts, and to share how anyone can better equip themselves to recognize and respond to silent suffering.<\/p>\n<p>Icy Peaks Publishing invites media outlets to join in raising awareness by featuring \u201cWhispers from the Shadow\u201d in upcoming stories.
