"Patty is gone," was what I heard when my sister Maureen called me 3 December 2012. A year ago. My first thought was that Patty had left the nursing home and we returned home. No, Patty took his life this morning. I had the chance to say goodbye. This is something that our family doctor and have the opportunity to zero to 5 percent occurs. Suicide was discussed with Patty and she gave his "guarantee" that suicide is not an option.
Its wonderful psychiatrist believes that the strong Catholic faith life of Patty always deter suicide. I held his hand to the Mass of the previous day. We knew she was leaving the next day. So after 67 years we have lived with fond memories as he struggles with the mystery of suicide. There will be new memories. Lives have changed.
During this last year, with hindsight, I came to the conclusion that, rather than prescribing a 5 percent chance that Patty had committed suicide, he should have a probability of 95 percent. Obviously, it is very easy for me to say a year later. However, this is not about me or the family of Patty. These are the millions of families that have to do with mental illness on a daily basis. They should talk to each other about suicide constantly. Must be direct, open and honest communication.
Patty felt trapped and think that there was no way out. She wanted to unbearable pain. 90 percent of people who die by suicide in the United States suffer from the debilitating effects of mental illness, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. The reasons people choose suicide are multi-layered and there is no easy explanation.
What was I thinking? Had long planned action? Was there a plan? Why so? Here are some questions that we ask you now. One of the favorite words of our father was wrong, although I'm not sure that's a real word. The definition of counterfeiting is the inclination or practice of misleading others through lies and deceit. How long did your false follow? It makes sense when you are suicidal.
Could we prevent his suicide? This is the question that will be with our families still unanswered. I find some comfort in the idea that she was determined to commit suicide. I can be myself wrong, but I have to find positive points in this tragic story.
Should we have been trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of suicide? Yes Patty had a special relationship with your doctor. I saw him often and he successfully led by their previous episodes of depression. This time it was different. Four months of stimulation, not eating and total withdrawal had consumed too. We discovered that drugs are not always best placed to respond. Patty took enough drugs to a pharmacy Stock. There is no miracle cure for depression.
What was the Catholic belief system say? We were originally taught as children that suicide is a mortal sin. Patty knew that suicide allowed him to be in the arms of God, enjoying a freedom she thought she could never enjoy again. She knew in her work with the homeless, God has a special affection for those who are too wounded to survive in this world.
Americans are not willing to talk about mental illness or suicide, because of the stigma. He leaves us emotional, moral and religious scars. Suicide brings pain, chaos and darkness. No reason to feel guilt or shame. 45.6 million American adults living with mental illness.
How can we really recognize the signs that a loved one may be thinking about suicide? Nobody can predict suicide. You must be willing to help a loved one who one day may experience suicidal crisis. Take seriously all references to suicide. Constantly ask direct questions, "Are you thinking about suicide" or "Do you have thoughts of suicide" Do not treat lightly the threat -? Although near jokes about it, they are the expression. 'extreme distress.
Make your loved one help immediately take them to the emergency room of a hospital, call 911 or the police, call the hotline suicide or call your doctor. Do not leave the person alone. Make sure you do not have access to means of damage that could be used in a suicide attempt. This includes all types of cables.
With a shortage of psychiatric beds, patients should be considered a danger to themselves or others for admission to hospital. Patients should inform their danger or distress to ensure that they will be accepted for further processing.
The idea of certainty in our lives is an illusion that is in place for us to function in daily life. But nothing is certain. Suicide throws the concept of certainty and forces us to realize that life is a gift. Remember the rule of 95 percent!
Love, sister, we miss you.
