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.

Yet, when it turns out you cannot; When the underlying condition has turned morbid, physical or mentally, then you arrive at a point where maybe it would be better to guide the end, rather then fight it into a secret desperate escape. For all involved. Family, caregivers, the person. Worthy end.
