my dad worked with a group called Project Healing Waters. he only told me a little about his experience, but it kept simmering in my head and eventually became "the darkness rolled over her". the characters are not at all based on my dad or people he met, but the setting provided me with a great context to share about how so many people have been helped through very hard times.
once the story became about suicide, i reached out to close friends who have struggled with it, helped someone through it, or lost someone to it. their input was incredibly valuable, and much of their ideas show up in the story and give it life.
