N2  - It is the authors' premise that caregivers of the suicidal elderly patient are at times guided by a paternalism that is not always in the best interests of the patient. They advocate instead care based on greater respect for the autonomy of the patient. A case of a suicidal, recently widowed man is presented, and historical and ethical considerations of bereavement and suicide are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
