A Life of Quiet DesperationI was much more nave and trusting

2、ten years ago than I am today. I believed that all policemen were good, all doctors were caring, and all people shared my concern for their fellow man. I realized with anguish the folly of making such generalizations when my sister, Laura, committed suicide. I was not only angered about my own naive

3、ty but also outraged by the uncaring attitude of the people I encountered following the tragedy.My own lack of understanding left me unprepared for Lauras death. I often visited her at Veterans Administration Hospital where she was a patient of a halfway house for mentally ill veterans. Whenever I w

4、as with her, she appeared to be relatively happy. I realized, after her death, the tremendous effort she had made to appear that way for my benefit. I knew she had been diagnosed as a chronic depressive; I didnt understand the extent of her depression. Although Laura had made previous attempts to en

5、d her life. I was still shocked by her ultimate success. I should have realized how desperate she was because, in her usual protective way, she tried to prepare me. I received a letter shortly before she died in which Laura had written, “The panic and desperation are overwhelming.” I did not heed he

6、r cry. When we first learned of Lauras intentions, my family received no assistance in trying to determine whether she was dead or alive. My sister Carol received a letter from Laura which began, “Please forgive me. I just cant stand to live anymore.” We immediately called the hospital and learned t

7、hat Laura had already been missing for twenty-six hours. But despite our plea, no one at the Veterans Administration Hospital or the police department would agree to search for her. The Thompson of the VA Hospital stated that Laura was no longer their responsibility since she had voluntarily left th

8、e hospital grounds. Donna Edwards of the police departments Missing Bureau indifferently remarked that hey could do nothing because Laura was “government property.” After driving to the hospital, a four-hour drive from our home, we began a systematic and never-racking verbal investigation of Lauras

9、friends, cab companies, and hotels. We found Laura, but our worst fears were confirmed. We were too late. What really makes me angry is that no one tried to stop her. According to Kathy, a friend of Lauras who was also a patient at the VA center, something particularly upsetting happened to Laura th

10、at day. After being assured by her doctors secretary that the doctor would see her, Laura went to his office. Her psychiatrist rudely told her she would have to make an appointment for the following week. When Laura protested, he yelled, “Get the hell out, or I will call the guards!” Laura got the h

11、ell out, determinedly went to her room where she wrote her last letter, then left the center. A short while later, Kathy saw Laura waiting at a bus stop. She asked Laura where she was going, and Laura replied, “I am on my way to executioner.” Kathy, aware of Lauras desperation, begged the hospital p

12、ersonnel to do something to stop her, at least, to call us. They refused. It took us only two hours to find Laura once we arrived in town; her death might have been avoided if we had been notified immediately or if the hospital personnel had taken appropriate action themselves. Despite what might ha

13、ve been, the cruel reality was that Lauras retreat from a life she found unbearable was finally complete. Lauras life was one of quiet desperation. She silently screamed out the agony of her existence, but no one listened. She silently begged for help, but no one heard or cared. At least not enough.
