To the NHS a system that failed my late sister Krista, my family and I Lost Identity Where do I begin to tell of the hurt and the endless pain that my dear sister Kris endured and suffered to the very end when she went astray and lost her way! The Doctor did not listen to me or take heed to my desperate pleas but went ahead nonetheless with their ECT barbaric deed and sent electrical currents through my dear sisters troubled & tortured head! She lost her mind and her identity unable to decide a ghost of her former self a carcass was all that remained and left behind of my beloved sweet sister, Kris She had ached & longed to be what she was before but with no identity it was easy to pull that chord tightly around her neck which led Krista to her demise and tragic end as she lay limp, lifeless & dead At the Coroners Inquest the Doctor & care workers called to the stand, to relay, the facts in a cold and matter of fact way which led to my sisters suicide on that fatal dire day! The disturbing and alarming truth that unravelled before me left me reeling devastated, angered unbelieving & unforgiving as I could not believe what I was hearing! I learnt that Krista had been left alone and neglected on that fateful day by those we trusted entrusted and believed did care for my sisters welfare! Vital actions overlooked no visit or phone calls made which had been put in place by those in charge & pre-arranged not carried out or dispatched that could possibly have saved my sisters life on that tragic Tuesday! At the end of the inquest the Coroner called for lessons to be learned of which could perhaps deter and possibly prevent happening and recurring this tragic event The Doctor & care worker came up to shake my hand I looked down at the ground and let out a primeval sound as I felt deflated and betrayed by the system in place that had dismally failed my sweet soul sister, Krista, my family and me! Krista always alive in my mind! Krista rests peacefully in the arms of our late Mum, Joan Crawford and the angels. I am moving forward & learning to forgive and hope that by sharing my sister, Kristas pain and suicide we might just stop this type of tragedy recurring and save a soul! Finally, to remove the stigma of suicide forever! Written by Donna Africa on 01/08/13 © Donna Africa
