Coming from middle class Indian family, my sister is going through divorce, she is a housewife but well educated and it’s been 12 years since she completed MBA . She suffered a lot in her toxic marriage and she is getting suicidal thoughts , please advise how can i help her through this tough phase . Also is it possible to get a job after that much years of gap in education. Lesson to share : At any given cost never leave your job for marriage no matter how rich/influential your partner is . Getting a job / source of income is must to get your freedom. Same guy who love you a lot today might become toxic after couple of years.
Where is she? In India ? Abroad?
If she worked for a while post education. Morgan Stanley has back to work programs for women.
This - it’s a great program and quite supportive. Am no longer at MS but recommend this approach if suitable.
Getting job shouldn’t be a problem, it just won’t be a high paying ir a competitive job with this long career break or no work exp
Intuit India has back to work program for women. It's more like an internship but most of them get to converted full time. A lot of companies have similar programs for women. Search for returnship.
Pls advise her to take professional counseling and also insist her spouse to do the same. Any decision made out of emotions may not be great in long run.
Financially support her while she gets on her feet
I am sorry your family is going through this tough time. It will all be okay eventually. As far as support for your sister, she needs you and her family for emotional support. As someone who also struggles with thoughts of self harm, just having someone to talk to/ knowing you are not alone helps a lot. Along with that, if she is willing/ open to, she should see a therapist/ counselor. She is going to need some time and a solid support system to get back on her feet. Thank you OP for being such a thoughtful sibling.
She can find work as an entry level, will need to work her way up. She can discuss her backstory in case people ask but I doubt they will. In the eyes of the job market, she will be seen more or less as a recent college grad with no experience. Best of luck to her!
Therapy + spend time with her. Family support. She needs a support system, good diet, good sleep and some exercise, while the latter might seem like less important at the moment, but regulating body functions really plan an important role for mental health and gives you strength to deal with difficult situations.
