Something related came to mind. Something a caregiver said, which seemed harsh at the time. Hence my preface and warning. There will be mention of suicide and suicidal ideation as I focus on something that ties in to what I wrote earlier.

My wife was at a clinic when it happened. Closed care unit. Yet, especially at those, suicides are part of the job. The 1/10s. So much that workers have got to cope with the mantra: “if they really want to, you’re not gonna stop them.” I figured: you can at least try to stop them from wanting.
