On Wednesday, Elisabet Abelin-Norell ended up drinking a lethal dose of the sleeping pill pentobarbital.
The place was an apartment in Zurich and the sleeping pill he had received from Dignitas, a non-profit association that helps people die.
– I finished. I can’t imagine sitting in a chair and just watching, she told Expressen reporter Karolina Skoglund in a lengthy interview with her barely a week left in her life.
You feel bad Here is help to get:
Always take suicidal thoughts or plans seriously. Stay calm, but act.
Speak up and dare to listen. Express your concerns and ask questions. Give concrete examples of why you think there is a risk of suicide. Show empathy and never judge.
But maintain that everyone has their own responsibility for their actions.
A suicidal person needs to see someone from psychiatry right away.
Call 112 or go to an emergency room. If possible, don’t leave the person alone.
Suicide is often an impulsive act.
Suicidal people are often ambivalent about the latter. They can be influenced. Emphasize that help is possible and that things will get better.

Elisabet: “Now I am in the twilight”
Before Elisabet Abelin-Norell ended her life, she participated in SVT’s Mötet, where she had a video chat with Dagens’ lead writer Elisabeth Sandlund.
– This conversation shows me that you are not finished at all, you have a lot to add, says Elisabeth Sandlund during the conversation.
Elisabet Abelin-Norell disagrees.
– Look at it like that Elisabeth, look at it like a day. The day begins in the morning, then you are born. Then the day goes by and you try to get the most out of your work or in meetings with other people. But then night comes, then twilight comes. And now I am in twilight, says the 85-year-old man who suffers from vision and hearing problems.
Elisabeth: “Waste of human resources”
– And in the evening, I think it can also be a fantastic moment, answers the main writer and continues:
– You could continue writing, listening, being part of the discussion. And then you want to end this. It is a sadness for me. It is a waste of human resources.
Elisabet, however, is relentless in her opinion.
– No, but please Elisabeth. In fact, I am not the only person. There are many people who have exactly the same thoughts and abilities as me. I want to be a free person among other free people. Other free people are at least as important as you say I am, he says.
The show follows Elisabet Abelin-Norell as she, wearing a mask and leaning on a walker, approaches a mailbox in the Dordogne, in southwestern France, where she has been based since the 1980s.
– This was the last letter I sent. And in two weeks I will no longer exist, he says.
