dad on the job
my dad was recently laid off from work (he was the manager for the propane department of a co-op). he decided he wants to go back to the job he had before that, which was an EMT(emergency medical technician). the problem is that he left that job because he had a lot of depression problems when he couldn't save someone. should i still encourage him to go back to that job?

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Yeah. You should its your dads decision to go back or not. He most likely knows what he's doing. Just encourage him now and when times get rough again. If he finally realized he made a mistake then he will learn from it. Okay? Well Hope I Helped You Atleast A Lil*! :) Good Luck With Your Dad. If you would like more advice. I am here just ask me :).

ya if he wants to go back then he will try his best encourage him

It's not your job to tell your dad what to do. He is the adult and should be left with that responsibilty, not you. Encourage him to do whatever makes him happy, but don't really make a specific suggestion on what he should do.

Remind him that he can only save those that God lets him save. If he is doing everything he can do to help someone in need, then he has no fault. It is not an easy job, but praying for the families and the souls of those who did not make it can give him some solace.

Rather than thinking about the ones he couldn't save, remind him of the ones he did. Tell him that there could be people dying right now because he is not there to save them. It's a depressing job, yes, but everyone who works in the medical field has to deal with that at some point.

Um thats tough. I mean if he has depression make him take depression pills or just tell him he did his best and its not his fault. XoXoLexiXoXo

tell him how you feel about the old job he had look in a local newpaper for a job you think he would like. its better for him not to go back to a job that depresses him.

I think you should encourage him to go back to his life but make sure he understands what happened. It wasn't his fault the person died. That person might have been beyond saving and what about the people he did end up saving? Give up all the hard work he had already done- he saves lives. Sometimes you can't but those lives he does save aren't just people- they are fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers, friends, relatives, daghters, married with many many connections. He might have lost one but in the great scheme of things he is saving loved ones. He delivers life everyday- just don't let him forget the people he saved.

I think you should encourage him! Things will not go right all the time, but when they do, he will feel great! That is a great field, especially if his heart is all in it!

I think you should encourage him to do what he wants.He's a grown man and he can think for himself.Plus if he really wants the job i dont think you telling him you dont want him working there will make a difference.Just make sure you are there for him if he gets depressed .I mean you cant save everyones life all the time.

yes, if he got layedoff and he wants to get back being an EMT then yes tell him u want him 2 go back. if thats what he wants 2 do then let him.
]
yes you should encourage him it was that persons time to go he couldnt help that

Is there anyway you could talk to the doctor that saw him then and ask about the risks? The problem is that unless you are really close to your Dad he might just give you an answer you want to hear. does he have any friends you could talk to about it? If you can talk to him about it then you really need to stress the implications of a recurring depression. Is there another job going in the same department that would be slightly different and therefore stop him becoming depressed again? daisy
