Abstract This study explores the recovery processes of persons who had attempted suicide. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight persons who had attempted suicide and the data were analyzed by means of systematic text condensation. The participants described lifesaving turning points, which were connected to meaningful relationships, taking control over one’s own life, and establishing a new everyday life. Suicide prevention efforts must be adapted to individual needs. First-person knowledge is important if we are to understand what is seen as helpful and should be emphasized when implementing suicide prevention work.
