Help How can I help a loved one who's trying to recover?

What are the things one can do to help a loved one that went through a suicide attempt?
It's hard for myself to be strong and love as if nothing happened, sometimes I need time for myself ofc.

But, does exist something useful to help a person who is already in therapy, medical treatment and doing his best to get better?

Dont be to pushy just be there for him and listen if he wants to talk. I have little experience with being helpful so sorry that's all I've got

If partner, fuck as much as you can. Otherwise depends on the person.

Try to be a listening ear to that someone. I am not sure what else will help the person and it differs from person to person

Well, medication reduces that precisely

It's a shame. Hope medication does enough good to make up for that.

Try to be patient. Understand they don't necisarily have the answers to the questions you have (and may not for a long time if ever). Know that they love you, and that their SI and their love for you are not related to each other. The best thing you can do for them is to listen to them and not assume anything.
