Lesson Overview

1.9 – What to Do When Your Child Says “I Don’t Want to Live”: Hearing words of hopelessness from your child freezes time, but presence outweighs perfection. Stay beside them physically—silence is safer than panic. Validate pain without debate: “That sounds really hard” communicates safety, not surrender. Remove immediate dangers calmly and contact professional help—hotlines, hospitals, or crisis teams—without secrecy. Do not promise privacy that endangers life; honesty builds trust. Later, explore triggers with patience, focusing on restoring hope through manageable goals and daily structure. Reassure them that dark thoughts don’t make them bad—they signal suffering that needs care. Follow-up consistently, not dramatically. Survival grows through predictable compassion, showing that love is not scared away by despair but steadied by it.
