A college professor found herself in the depths of despair, contemplating ending her life while she was alone at home. As she stood on the brink of making a decision, she got a lifeline. The professor decided to reach out to ‘Roshini’ suicide prevention helpline, which changed the course of her life.
The person on the other end of the helpline lent an ear to the distraught professor, patiently listening as she poured out her woes. Gradually, as the conversation unfolded, the professor’s grip on the step-ladder she was about to push away began to loosen. With the helpline’s support, she decided to get off the step-ladder and regain control over her life.
The following day, the professor, accompanied by her husband, visited the Roshini centre in Hyderabad. They met the volunteer who had been there for her during that critical moment. Overwhelmed with gratitude, the husband tearfully thanked the volunteer for saving his wife’s life.
