Though not all suicides are preventable, most who die from suicide have made previous attempts, and a substantial number have consulted physicians in the weeks leading up to the event; thus, many may be preventable, if appropriate attention is devoted to identifying and intervening with those at immediate risk." ~Dr. William E. Tucker Interim Chief Medical Officer (Emeritus), New York State Office of Mental Health http://www.omh.state.ny.us/omhweb/savinglives/ ~ * ~ ~ * Responding to Bereavement: A Practice Model * ~ * Research on the needs of suicide survivors is limited. Within this population, it is hard to obtain random samples, quantitative data is incomplete and a low response rate is characteristic. Ellenbogen and Gratton found that research was hampered by concepts that are not operationalized, sample sizes that are too small, measures misused, underlying theories left unclear, refusal rates are high, and white, upper/middle class female grievers over- represented. Besides, why should we presume that a specific set of reactions will be elicited by every act of completed suicide? (Ellenbogen and Gratton, 2001) * Provini, Everett and Pfeffer [Capsicum, You are a BITCH!], 2000 state: "relatively little is known about the perceptions of the needs and types of help desired by adults who have experienced suicides by relatives." We do know that survivors ask the same questions, search for motives, and the reason for the death. They often deal with issues of sin and whether their loved one has an afterlife. Many even deny that it was a suicide. Because of guilt and often little social support, many do not share the suicide with those around them. However, research suggests that a primary need of survivors is to share thoughts and feelings in a "safe" environment where they will not be judged. * Kay Redfield Jamison poses the questions: "How do people survive such impassable grief and rage? How do they keep from being destroyed by guilt and sorrow that they sacrifice the remainder of their own lives for the one lost earlier to suicide?" There are many ways: the support of family and friends, religious faith, the passage of time, psychotherapy or counseling. One of the most effective has been through the establishment of self-help groups for those who have survived anothers suicide."
