Q&A with Australian Health Practitioners
How can I help my sister cope after her husbands recent suicide attempt?
Related Topics
So my sister's husband had a horrific suicide attempt, he slashed his throut in the same room as my sister and his mother. They managed to get him into hospital and he survived (thankfully).
He didn't remember what happen.. but he has been suffereing depression for a while and has been off his medication, and is against taking drugs to treat what he thinks is not depression.
I'm struggling to work out what extra support I can provide her, other then love and care.
Should I get a councillor to help both my sister and her mother in law to get over the traumatic experince? What type of other support does she need? What else can i suggest to her to get over the trauma and also help her husband who she dearly loves?
We are preparing to clean all the blood from the house, and change her carpets. They are staying at mums house but we are aware that this process will be a long one, and am looking for any advice that I can get.
Many thanks
