My spouse has just attempted suicide. How should I support them now?
After a suicide attempt, immediate safety and professional treatment are the first priority, not advice or reprimands. If they are in danger now, call the police 999, make sure they are not left alone, and take them to get medical treatment. Talian Kasih 15999 can help you with advice and support. Listen without judging, remove anything that could be dangerous, and follow the treatment plan the doctor gives. Look after your own emotional health too, because supporting someone who is ill is very exhausting. Keep praying for them and show them they are still loved. See mental health.
