FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda In our mind, we all write a life ‘script’.
We are born, grow up, grow old and die from natural causes.
But when a child dies or a loved one takes their own life, the storyline is heart-achingly derailed.
Those left behind may feel angry, hopeless or isolated and blame themselves, thinking well-chosen words or well-timed deeds could have prevented the death.
But support is available to help them through, according to a Brisbane specialist speaking on the eve of World Suicide Prevention Day and in the wake of a suspected murder-suicide in Brisbane this week.
Lifeline Queensland’s Chris Chicoteau stressed he was not talking about that specific case but has shared his insights on the struggles for those left behind when a loved one commits suicide.
Family members could often blame themselves, thinking they could have done something to prevent the death.
“It’s easy to look back on people’s changing behaviour and suddenly it can make sense,” he said.
“People can be very hard on themselves. They think I should have noticed this, I should have noticed that.
“When we experience loss we react in many different ways, some might feel anger, others sad while others feel nothing at all.
“All of that is normal and can change on a week to week basis.”
Mr Chicoteau said a suicide could destroy life’s ‘script’ – born, grow old and die from natural causes.
When someone committed suicide, their loved ones were also at risk of becoming suicidal.
But others went the opposite way, vowing “I could never do that to anyone”.
“It’s important not to isolate bereaved people,” Mr Chicoteau said.
“We have to try to offer as much support as we can.”
Mr Chicoteau said it was vital for families and those struggling with suicidal thoughts to seek help.
“For people who become suicidal there can be a feeling of hopelessness … They are often in some sort of pain,” he said.
“Their life has got to a point where they feel there is no help available, unfortunately in this situation help is available but they may not recognise it.
“A suicide or murder is always tragic within any community.
“Not everyone who is depressed is suicidal, that’s an important point to make.”
People who need support after a loved one commits suicide can telephone 0438 150 180.
Support is available for anyone who may be distressed by phoning Lifeline 131 114.
