talk with someone can bring us from
darkness to light those conflicts and
rolls that we have in our heads
can become a steer
useful ideas for our lives
almost 20 years ago I had an experience
close with suicide or a family member
decided to take his own life
of course it was a lot of pain and
anguish for family and friends we
that to that uncertainty that if
we could do something to avoid it
I think that’s a very thought
general for family members that we have
lost someone who has decided
take away life
I remember he called at about 11
at night to my house
back then I had about 20 something
more and at eleven o’clock at night I irritated
llosa and this one that does not have another time which
it’s wrong
at eleven o’clock at night but not in no
had another hour to call that was the
time he needed to call at the time
that he wanted me to listen to him
also tell me what had happened in
his day because he lived alone in a
apartment did not arrive did not have with
who to talk to was the time that maybe he
I was fighting a depression
today I would like to talk until two o’clock
tomorrow but that the un continue with
US
that’s why I wanted to do something
I wanted to do something to listen to the
people to listen to people
we have to stop thinking about the
depression as a taboo
we have to stop thinking that
people with depression are those who are
lying down skiing without wanting to leave sad
and crying that sometimes presents
well but not always sometimes as much as
tigger and inside they are fighting
against your depression investigating
I found that Costa Rica has one of the
higher rates of suicide in
Central America for each die for him
by suicide
seven out of every hundred thousand Costa Ricans is
very high
seven out of every hundred thousand Costa Ricans and
in the rest of Central America dies
4.5 per 100,000
the gap is quite high in our
pure country life truth the data
Absolutes recently disclosed by
the health ministry indicated that the
country dies 318 people per year
these figures were accumulated taken
from 2010 to 2014
Pan American Health Organization
the ups clarifies that for every 5.5 men
woman dies a still that’s not a
coincidence truth was that women
we talk a little 10m
for example the women we arrived did
see if neighbor have a coffee and we have
remember that my boss
supposedly I thought I was going to
ascend because I am the one that I have more
years of being in the company and just
get a mastery
you know what happened to my partner
he has been in the company for a year
because it says that women are not
good for command that to happen but
we speak no more than speak it
we are going it out and we are tolerating it
but we also count the good things
I will participate in the test of emotion
then it is not a coincidence and the real
that the conversation helps us
cartago is the province where I live
that along with san jose is the second
place where more suicides are presented
in the country
then I wanted to do something the project of
listen to the project, I know I’m leaving
for the park
some days mostly on Fridays
I put two chairs a little table I feel
I hope that people pass there is a sign
what does it say if you want to talk
I can hear you I hear about
people come sit and talk to me
What I want is that he asks me and
you charge calm and a coral my
talk about any action is very cute
listen among the stories come day
a gentleman who was wet and with his clothes
a little dirty from construction kisses
so I thought they worked in
construction really because it had cement
and the clothes a little dirty with these
I feel things sometimes came
coffee in a coffee machine
Then I served him some coffee
the gentleman sat down he drinks the coffee in
silence after drinking coffee and
after talking and he tells me he
he got up and he tells me this coffee saved me the
lifetime
I do not know if it was because I was cold and the coffee
it warmed said that expression but
I saw that it went calmer and not
I gave him money nor did he get
work that does
God , I only heard it with a lot
sweetie
another Galician story a lady one
older adult next month tells me that
the nephew half put him prisoner
but she thinks it’s not fair because the
nephew did not do so great things like
for him to lose weight and worst of all
is that my sister who is also a
older adult
we do not send the boy away
we can go see we are shattered
like my car training and some
he asks nothing more and she finally says
look at you while it can be a
lesson for this boy those six
months that is there and that later I do not go
to really commit a felony and it
it was quiet just by listening
Excuse the goods at what time for
send my sister
when when we listen to people
we realize that we are hot
of this that we really need to be
listened
we need you to listen to us and be
listened
