The Deathly Silence

“Every half hour another elderly person in the U.S. commits Suicide.”
-Stanton O. Berg

We as a society, need to begin creating awareness and paying attention to this alarming epidemic. Elder Abuse victims would rather take their own lives, than speak up and face the stigma and embarrassment of being a victim. Elder abuse, is a silent killer. Victims often end up taking the secret of their abuse to their grave.  

Pushpa too, attempted to take her own life. Fortunately, Pushpa was saved by the quick action of well wishing relatives, who immediately came to her aid and helped save her life.

Sadly, it took a telephone call from Pushpa’s relative residing outside the U.K., alerting Pushpa’s well wishing relatives locally in London, of this critical situation. They immediately went over to Pushpa’s home and rushed her to the hospital. By doing so they saved her life. What were Pushpa’s immediate family doing? Where was TOST?
