Someone Ready To Listen
Viktor Frankl, one of the great psychiatrists of the twentieth century, survived the death camps of Nazi Germany. His little book, Man’s Search for Meaning, is one of those life-changing books that everyone should read.
Frankl once told the story of a woman who called him in the middle of the night to calmly inform him she was about to commit suicide. Frankl kept her on the phone and talked her through her depression, giving her reason after reason to carry on living. Finally, she promised she would not take her life, and she kept her word.
When they later met, Frankl asked which reason had persuaded her to live?
“None of them”, she told him.
What then influenced her to go on living, he pressed?
Her answer was simple, it was Frankl’s willingness to listen to her in the middle of the night. A world in which there was someone ready to listen to another’s pain seemed to her a world in which it was worthwhile to live.
Often, it is not a brilliant argument that makes a difference. Sometimes the small act of listening is the greatest gift we can give.
About Us
Some of the members of this group are suicide victim themselves and each of them know how important life is and how beautiful it can be if you want it to be. So it is purely about the choice one makes.
Because they are suicide victims they also know what it is to hear from someone that “I am there for you”. Because what pushes a person to commit suicide is just that they get into a hopeless situation where they believe that they have nobody to listen to. If they would have had somebody to listen to them at that moment and give them that hope (like what Viktor Frankl did to that woman that day by giving her hope to live.), they would have not taken a decision of taking their life. This was the inspiration for this website.
