Who is responsible for a suicide?
Is there anyone close to you that has become quieter more recently, upset, depressed, shutting themselves off, not talking or perhaps behaving out of character.
It is a sad fact that each year there are many people who take their own life (5,608 in the UK in 2010) or come near to it with suicidal thoughts.
The sad news of Nurse Jacintha Saldanha, who committed suicide after falling for a prank call involving Kate Middleton, has left a sadness in so many hearts and my sincere condolences go out to her family and friends.
Investigations are underway about the events leading up to her death. Two young Australian DJ’s who made the phone calls are shocked and shattered and talk about being gutted and heartbroken themselves. They recently called the Queen Elizabeth II hospital pretending to be the Queen and Prince Charles to get information about Kate, The Duchess of Cambridge who was in hospital for sickness during early pregnancy.
So who is responsible for a suicide?
If there is someone you are worried about please talk to them and encourage them to get some help or perhaps give them a kind word of comfort and support.
What this incident can teach us all is to be mindful of our own behaviour and actions and to treat others with love and respect. Where the media is concerned I think its a good lesson for all journalists to act in an ethical and moral way for all concerned towards the public.
If you are feeling suicidal please speak to your GP or the Samaritans http://www.samaritans.org
