I was wondering how an ENFP would react if a friend was to attempt suicide and he found out about secret pains the person was living with.
What would it do to you? Would you cry? Would you wish to defend or protect the person?
What would you say if you were to go and see the person at the hospital?
Has it ever happened to you?
It has happened to me more than once (the suicide rates are quite high in this country) that somebody quite close to me has attempted suicide and succeeded on it.
It is terrible "swamp" of emotions that one goes through. I did sense something even without those people telling me about their plans to end their lives, but I didn't believe my intuition. But, as I've realized after those happenings (those people died, they didn't just try to kill themselves), that a person cannot be helped if they dont' want to be helped. There is no point in blaming yourself afterwards. You do as much as you can to help but at the end it's their choice, not yours.
Emotionally, it's terrible time. I wanted to understand but I've also learned that I cannot understand it, nobody can, except if you have been on the same desparate state as they are. And I haven't been there, I'm happy to say. Suicide is not usually seen as a way to die for those who try to kill themselves, it's seen as a way to escape the desperate situations (there are studies about this).
Anyway, it is terrible and I hope nobody has to go trough it, the suicide of somebody close to you. I even wish that nobody would commit suicide because it's so horrible thing. But it happens. And even an ENFP can deal with it but it'll take time, many years before it's only a part of past live. And even so, you'll always miss the people that aren't with us anymore. And the question "why" doesn't ever go away, it just gets a little bit "smaller" over the years.
But after somebody trying to kill themselves, and not succeeding (a good thing!) I would try to support that other person and not trying to blame them anyway. I would try to make them accept some professional help in dealing with their problems and stand by them all the time. I would also suggest that you, the support person, would seek some help, somebody to talk to , somebody who you can lean on to, maybe even professional help, so you can sort out your own thoughts and emotions.
