Suicide is always the expression of suffering and the means, if successful, to put an end to it. Offense in the moral sense, it is terrible for everyone to bear.
The suicide is like a statue heated white with anger. Unable to express this suffering in relation to a third party, he is in an emotional cage that imprisons him and has no other possible outcome than madness or death.
When a person threatens or attempts suicide, we say it is an attempted solution . The suicidal is a murderer who commits murder against himself while aiming at a " recipient ".
When a person hears a member of his entourage threatening to commit suicide, he generally tries to bring him to reason, to play it down. On the other hand, we must not minimize the remarks of the kind “so what, you have to hang yourself to be heard!” because there is then a risk of trivialization.
Another option may be to show fear, which risks becoming a source of manipulation, the awakening of pity……
What else to do? Avoid talking about it? In business and in the particular case that we have seen, we act as if nothing had happened. We try to avoid.
What we think is that a person who commits suicide has threatened to do so beforehand. And every threat is an opportunity for us to act. We can indeed do things at that time. The threat is therefore to be taken seriously.
- We will seek to identify the " recipient " targeted by the suicide by carrying out investigations to find the people with whom relations are not going well.
- We can spot the emotional state of the one who threatens. If there is incandescence, we will have the possibility of channeling it and making it less active for the passage to the act. We will seek to vent the anger.
- We will finally be able to get closer to professionals so that this person is taken care of in another way.
