Suicide prevention - to be able to trust someone without fear.
Suicidal wishes should be expressed openly, without having to take the risk of a caring deprivation of liberty with placement in a psychiatric institution. Openly expressed suicidal wishes are the best suicide prevention. They can open the path back to a happy life, but also lead to a request for an assisted voluntary death (AVD) with Eternal SPIRIT. These conversations - free of charge for members of lifecircle - can either be done with a pastor, a physician or some other professional person.
Switzerland has an extremely high suicide rate with about 1‘300 people annually going into unassisted suicides. The fact is, that over half of these people go into death through a violent suicide, which means that they jump in front of a train, jump from great heights, shoot or hang themselves. By these kinds of suicides, people who have seen these images are permanently heavily burdened. Every year in Switzerland more than 300 train conductors somehow have to cope with the experience of having run over a person...
All these people go with their suicide into an uncertain, sometimes brutal death in loneliness and without a goodbye from their relatives and loved ones. Perhaps these people could not have been brought to go on living, but they would have had a chance to go into death quietly and in a state similar to sleep, accompanied by understanding people. Their relatives and friends would have had the opportunity to be prepared for the coming farewell.
Maybe the family would even have been able to accept their wish for the termination of their life.
