Human life is considered the highest value in society. And yet, there are people who are ready to give up their precious life. Most often, this happens during serious personal troubles and social crises. Close and loving people can dissuade a dear person from a fatal decision and help save their lives.

If a loved one who is on the verge believes in God, you need to tell him that attempting suicide will inevitably lead him to an even worse state. People who tried to commit suicide and were resuscitated say they saw terrible creatures and experienced intolerable torment. Suicide is not forgiven, because it is no longer possible to correct or realize anything. A person interrupts his life cycle, being in the grip of emotions. He ceases to perceive life as the most precious gift, and believes that with his departure all problems and torment will disappear.
The condition that the suicide is trying to escape from will remain with him forever. All problems can be solved only in earthly life, but in eternity nothing can be corrected. You cannot pray for suicides, and no money will help inconsolable relatives. If you yourself belong to the Orthodox faith, read the 90th psalm in his room unnoticed, it helps to drive away suicidal thoughts.

If a person is atheist or is so tormented by situations that he cannot be convinced by the experience of other people, you need to ask him to state his problem on three sheets of paper. Say that from the outside it will be better to discern the causes of the problem and the mental impasse into which despair leads a person. And try to find these dead ends, that is, those thoughts that cannot be proved by facts, but which govern a person in this period of life. For example, a young man wants to commit suicide because of the departure of his girlfriend. A dead end thought is the consideration that life is impossible without it. Mark the thought for yourself. And while a person writes, he will be able to systematize information and discover the root of the problem himself.

People who have lost the meaning of life need physical and emotional shaking. Get a person out of the house, ideally for training. If you can be with a person for a long time, give him an emotional shake-up for some extraneous cause, not about his suicidal intentions. Then reconcile violently, and when he is more balanced, convey to him the absurdity of an impasse. In an altered state, you are more likely to be heard. A person’s life can be saved simply by giving him his attention and time.
