Studies have shown that the trauma can be eased when immediate emotional support is available. The shock is sometimes so great that it is impossible to dial a telephone or do any of the things we take for granted.

FILM DEVELOPING With the case of still birth, there is an acute period following the confirmation of fetal death, the mother may experience a variety of feel- ings. She may be angry at herself or her doctor, or she may weep openly. The cou- ple need time to grieve over their . loss. Options for delivery are discussed and if the father would like to be present. Following the delivery, the parents are allowed to see and hold their baby, as most parents con- sider ' the stillborn child a member of their family. In order for mourning to take place, the parents need to see who is being mourned. An autopsy is obtained to reassure the parents that the death was not preventable. -Natural death has its share of emotional overtone; but death by. suicide brings the greatest affront for those who remain. Dr. E.S. Shneidman, speaking at the International Conference on Terminal Care, expressed the importance of . allowing the person to talk. You can For Exclusive and Unusual Gifts help the survivors by: a) be- ing an ear; b) not doing anything that would be con- frontary or reflective; c) trying to demystify the event; d) trying to convert the event from a suicide into a death. One should not want to take away the legitimate mourning that a person has to do. There are many facts and fables surrounding suicides. Some of the facts are: All kinds of humans, regardless of sex, race, religion - or economic status, are capable of committing suicide. It is neither a rich man's disease or a poor man's, curse. Suicide is very `democratic' and is represented proportionately among all levels of society: Suicide does not run in families. It is an individual pattern. Studies reveal that the suicidal person gives many clues and warnings regarding _ his intentions. Most suicidal people are undecided about living or dy- ing, and they gamble with death, leaving it to others to save them. Most suicides oc- cur within three months following the beginning of improvement, when the in- dividual has the energy to put his morbid thoughts and feelings into effect. As well, studies of hundreds of ge- nuine o-nuine suicide notes indicate that although the suicidal person is extremely unhap- py, he is not necessarily mentally ill. (Shneidman) There is help for those who. may be contemplating suicide. It is important to reach out. Pick up the phone,. call a friend, relative, clergyman, neighbour, police. Trained people are ready to help. Call the Department of Psychiatry at the A.M. & G. Hospital, 524- 8323, ext. 49. Next Week: Children and Death.
