Five-year-old Who Escaped Strangulation by Her Mother and Saw Her Parents Commit Suicide Recovering
Sudha herself, who was busy attending to her daughter, broke open the bedroom door a little later and was shocked to see her husband hanging.
When she realised that he had died, she apparently tried to strangle Manisha and hang herself. The child survived the ordeal though, as it turned out.
But it would be quite long before she recovers completely. Said Lata Jacob, counsellor and co-ordinator of the Sahai distress helpline, Children who suffer some assault or have witnessed something traumatic will surely take time to recover. In Manishas case, she has barely survived strangulation and seen both her parents commit suicide, one can easily imagine the devastating impact on the child.
She stressed, What is most important is that children who are victims of such horrific experiences should get unconditional love from their family members. Since Manisha has lost her parents, the other family members should ensure that she feels secure, loved and taken care of. If there are other children around her who will play with her and love her, the healing will be faster.
She added that the family should identify a parental figure, maybe a grandmother or an aunt, who could be of constant support to the child, whom she could look up to for help if she had any problem.
Such a person should not be too busy with other things, because physical presence would be important to the child.
