Hello Starkfull: I noticed this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to Psych Central.

As others have already written, under the circumstances, I don't know as there is much you can do. However here are links to 5 articles, from Psych Central's archives, that may be helpful to you in at least better understanding the situation:

Denial is a Powerful Impediment to Treatment

Helping Someone With Suicidal Thoughts: Reach Out to a Friend Today

10 Questions and Answers to Help Prevent Suicide

Frequently Asked Questions About Suicide

How to Survive Suicidal Thoughts

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
