In professional cleaning for suicide cleanup requires removal of biohazard material. This type of suicide cleanup includes disinfecting as work progresses, from start to finish. By including thorough disinfecting from a suicide cleanup's beginning to end the cleaner knows beforehand the death scene exceeds the highest cleaning and sanitation standards. Suicide cleanup professionals may seem like an unusual service to many people. The fact is that as a professional calling, suicide cleanup arrived rather recently as a common cleaning phrase and as a sought after occupation. Before discretionary income made suicide cleanup professionals conceivable, societies dealt with suicide cleanup needs in a less sanitary manner. In fact, death came suddenly by accident and murder for many. Cleaning came as an afterthought if at all. Death's arrival appeared as an event or journey depending upon the societies cultural traditions. In industrial societies secularization tends to persuade people not to expect experiences beyond death, but popular and other research accounts of near-death experiences or visions of the bereaved make this new "certainty" not so certain. As a result many people still wish to hope for another existence beyond death. Naturally we see that suicide for some promises and existence beyond their suicide. Suicide cleanup shows evidence of such beliefs. The professional suicide cleanup technicians knows to respect the personal belongings of suicide vic times as if these belongs were their own. The suicide victim's belongings relate a testimony to the suicide victim's belief system in many cases. As often as not during suicide cleanup, personal belongings purchased from churches and elsewhere remind us that humanity has shared expectations of life after death since the Stone Age. I have written further about suicide cleanup at orange-county-suicide-cleanup.com Anticipation of death by Stone Age people lead to great uncertainty. They anticipated an unknown, but looked forward with expectation; they also made preparations for their anticipated journey to where they were unsure. Stone Age dying might have generated these kind of anticipations in the following strong social and psychological ways. At least four fearsome ideas came about. Some wished to know exactly when they were to jettison into the after death experience. Others tried to avoid death by extending their lives, by trying to recognize supernatural and physical signs of imminent death. Shamanism came to play in the third idea in recent hunter-gatherer societies. Trance, drug-taking, ritual drumming, sensory deprivation, and prolonged isolation helped Shamanism produce altered states of consciousness to produce pre-death conscious states. Suicide cleanup activities show us that some suicide victims planned for their suicide long before taking the final steps. During suicide cleanup signs of previous attempted suicides become apparent as cleaning progresses. Anthropologists tell us that during the Stone Age some people planned to "die" before their biological death. Knowledge gained from this pre-death death helped reduce fear of death. Any imagined learning from the preparatory deaths were shared with the community. When biological death came the deceased met it with some metaphysical information not available before the pretended death period. Shamanism in Pre-planned Deaths We can see the role of Shamanism in pre-planned death's before actual biological death. The altered states of consciousness came to address fear-and-loathing prior to sudden death and long illnesses prior to death. Suicide cleanup may actually have taken on ritualized behavior to ensure that the suicide victim's after-death preparations found full expression. Suicide cleanup in this way helped to connect pre-planned death activities and ideas with suicide cleanup's connection of life to the life-after-death. Whatever the reasons for suicide and planned deaths, experts tell us that for the year 2001, 750,000 suicide attempts were made, which comes to about 2,000 per day in the United States. Roughly 30,000 suicide victims succeed. We know from records kept for over one-hundred years that in the United States, about 73% of suicides occur among white males. Roughly 17% occur among white women. Men tend to use handguns to end their lives in the United States. Elderly men are the most at risk for committing suicide. Loneliness and isolation stand out as the greatest motivation for suicide. Suicide cleanup activities confirm the above figures for white men and elderly white men. Often during suicide cleanup alcohol bottles (often vodka) and drugs litter the suicide scene. Women tend to use razors and pills to end their lives. Women tend to prepare for death by helping those who follow their deaths clean the suicide scene. Men tend not to give much forethought to those who come to clean after their suicide. Mental distress becomes too much. What happens when mental distress becomes too painful? We need to understand that everyone has some mental distress every day. It's part of life and has always helped us to overcome unforeseen challenges. Events overcome our planned day, plans backfire, we lose our jobs, and stuff happens. Usually we have a means of discharging our hurt, anger, and frustration by crying, yelling, and talking with others. For some of us, those who take their own lives, typical distress added to negative self-perception. That is, add a negative self-concept to poor coping skills with every day distress, and suicide becomes a possibility when potential suicide victims do not seek help. With unmet needs a vacuum may occur between the suicidal person and others. What a suicidal person needs are something like the following relationships and conditions:
Where these relationships and conditions go unmet problems arise. Add intolerable mental pain and the idea of escaping by suicide, and suicide may follow. Because we live in a society that values individualism and self-reliance, we often do not ask others for help. Also, we do not easily seek to help others in a meaningful way because we become intrusive, we believe, when we ask personal questions. How often suicide cleanup reveals the aloof life-style of the suicide victim goes uncounted, but I've seen many cases where something like the following questions in a concerned and considerate manner might have helped: "Where o you hurt the most right now? What will make you feel better?" "Have you thought through your life history and how events and situations may have influenced the way you feel now?"
