When the Pain Tries to Win: Finding Strength, Faith and a Reason to Stay
By Aaron J. Hathorn
 
Suicidal thoughts do not always scream. Sometimes, they whisper—quietly convincing you that the world would be better without you. If you have ever felt that, or if you suspect or worry that someone you love is considering suicide or has talked about it, this book was written for you.
 
When the Pain Tries to Win is a powerful, faith-filled guide for those battling suicidal thoughts, those who have survived a suicide attempt, and those grieving the unimaginable loss of someone who didn’t make it through. It is also for the friend, the parent, the partner who sees the signs but does not know what to say.
 
✅ It works.
This book speaks to the places most people avoid. It does not flinch at the truth—but it does not stop there. It brings light into the dark.
 
✅ It’s easy.
Every chapter is clear, honest, and heart-level. No therapy degree needed. Just a willingness to open the page and let something new in.
 
✅ You can overcome this.
Whether it is the thoughts, the grief, or the guilt—healing is not just possible, it is waiting. There is more life ahead. And this book will help you see it.
Inside, you will also find a specially selected list of free, life-saving resources—organizations, hotlines, and support systems designed to help you take action, hold on, and fight through. These are not just links. They are lifelines.
 
This is more than a book. It is a voice in the dark reminding you—you are not alone, your story is not over, and the pain does not get to win.
