What can I say to my dad to make him stop thinking of suicide?
My dad recently got layed off so it’s caused so much stress in my home because he’s the main provider. He’s been trying day and night to get a job, I’ve been with him through this and he’s making such an effort. Anyways today I found out we are up for eviction, I’m so scared. I’ve caught my dad researching suicide and stuff, my mom said if things don’t go good in court (next week) my dad is going to do something bad. I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to do. He obviously cant afford a therapist and he’s went to the doctor and all our doctor does is give him depression medication, that’s it! He has a lawyer but things just aren’t looking good…
I just want to know some things I could say to him, any ideas? I need to protect him from himself right now, he told me he feels like he’s making a disappointment to my mom and I even though we stand by his side through all of this.
sweetie all you can do is be there for him… don’t feel responcible for this situation at ALL… this is wayy too big for you to deal with… BUT you could try [next time he is researching suicide] suggest he looks up suicide survivors and don’t forget to tell him you love him, and that you appritiate everything he does, and how things always get better after they’re worse :]
Tell him that it’s natural to have feelings of inadequacy during hard times like this. He has thoughts of suicide because he suspects he won’t be able to take care of his family, but if he goes through with it he’s guaranteeing it.
you can say if you kill yourself your goning to hell, or you can say if you love me you wont do it and is you do do it you dont love me!!!
Hug him!
Hope your dad feels better soon. And wins the case. It’s just not far when working class families have to go through all this
Hope this helps:

Today I was at my friends funeral. she committed suicide at 24. I am left with all these questions.
As her, he is in a stage in life that´s just not easy… I KNOW she would have gotten through it, it just would take some time. She couldn´t handle it… You need to tell your father that this is something he´ll get through. Time´s a healer. He won´t have to deal with it forever. So when all that is over- he can treasure new happy moments, instead of just wasting a lifetime of memories.
Rest in Peace Elisabeth- You will forever stay in my heart
Try to make him feel that he is all You’ve got to look up to… Make him feel wanted…needed…
Make him recall the wonderful moments you guys spent together. Make him realize how wonderful life is with HIM… Make him feel really important. Make him feel that there always is a ray of hope even in the worst of circumstances..and convince him how strong he is to deal with the toughest situations…
Make hm realize how much you love him.
BE STRONG AND FACE LIFE>>>
Your Dad will be in my thoughts and prayers - the economy many be weak, but the Lord’s never be stronger !
tell him that suicide is the worst thing to think about and if he kills him self he will never see you again.
