[Passport]

---

By close family member, I refer to anak, igsoon, or parent... ana ra nga category, limited ra diha ka close.

How to handle a situation like this?



NB:

I know there are threads in General Discussion about this but I purposely created right here in the Family Section to focus on a family situation scope of discussion.

It's really difficult to handle this situation, but prayer to the Lord must be the best things to do and ask guidance to give you peace in mind. .

its difficult at first but with the right approach masulbad ramn.. my brother once committed suicide kay wa to sya trabho that time and he has a family of his own na.. sge sila away sa ako papa.. napuno na guro and na influence pud sa dautan na barkada.. but karon okay na sya.. encourage him/her lang jud to do good and love him/her and make him/her feel that he is not a burden and we are always here to help them.. boost his/her self-esteem..

time heals, just don't blame yourself for it if ever na deads jud sya. kay iya ra man jud to decision. pero if failed suicide. Make sure to emotionally support the depress one who tried to commit suicide.

Seek a qualified person to talk to. Maybe a therapist or a senior pastor or a senior priest. Sometimes our closest friends may mean well but their advice is not therapeutic.
Don't just "get over it", acknowledge your feelings, may it be anger or sadness and know that depression is a disease and that their death is not your fault. Sometimes even the closest family member you have cannot see your depression.

Nagbuhat ani ako ig agaw last yr. nag overdose. Good heavens natabang pa sya i thot she cant make it. Naa d i hospital na dili mudawat ug attempted suicide na case bisag tagsa nara ug ginhawa ug nagseizure na sya ato. Hehehe before discharge, ako sya gi set ug appointment sa psychiatrist kay need jud niya. I kept on reminding her day before pero giblock ko sa fb. Wont ans my calls/ txt, mulikay sya nko blockd me sa fb hehehe Never jud sya niadto ug psychiatrist, naglagot pud ko sa ako aunt kay iya ra sad gitolerate. But wala nasad nku sya gidisturb kay maybe maoy comfortable niya. Gusto unta ko makigstorya niya pero basin ako pay makaingon so dili nalang hehe
