In the spring of 2004, James Bean faced a failed marriage, the
death of his father, and a floundering career in comedy-with no one
to talk to. He began visualizing a world without him and planned
the details of his suicide. The world would go on, and he would
become a statistic, particularly in Las Vegas, where the suicide
rate is uncommonly high. Minutes before taking his life, however,
Bean realized his life had been an incredible journey, and he
thought seriously of his love for his five-year-old daughter.
In When the Humor Is Gone, Bean shares an honest and inspiring
look at suicide as he recounts his brush with death and recalls how
he was able to move past his suicidal thoughts. Through his
experiences with depression and suicide and the recollections of
others who have endured the suicidal death of a loved one, Bean
offers advice for getting therapy, obtaining family support, and
finding purpose and meaning in life.
When the Humor Is Gone presents Bean's love letter to the
world-his legacy of care, hope, and empathy for those who are
living under the gripping vice of depression.
