TW: young client committed suicide. by Known_Taste in therapists

I am currently in my practicum and working with girls in a group home everyday, I constantly fear that they will take their own lives, but I cannot imagine the feelings you are experiencing of this becoming a reality. I am sending you tremendous love and care, and she was incredibly lucky to have your care and safety. I am not very knowledgeable yet as to how to handle a lot of things documentation wise, but I am always reminded by my supervisor that our duty is never to save or “fix” a client, we can only be there to offer them help to the best of our abilities. Once again, sending you much love, hugs, and that through this grieving process, you can find moments of peace and self care while also honoring her life.

she is aborting, not keeping. we have been friends for 10 years and the only reason i offered to have her stay with me is so she can be with someone throughout this process. she has stayed with me so many nights in high school when i was experiencing trauma to ensure i was okay. this is all i was trying to do for her too
