Suicide Conversations With My Son Our most significant moments are least discussed. Partly out of reverence. Mostly out of fear. If we live long enough and try hard enough, we may find time and opportunity to talk about everything: the sacred, the secret, the hard. Clifton Jolley has needed six children and two religions to begin the conversation. This paper is one of a collection of alternating personal essays for a book of the same title Jolley is writing with one of his six children, his eldest son.
