I found out this morning a friend of mine and my bf's family took her life. The day before we left on vacation apparently. She just gave birth a few months ago to her second baby boy...her boyfriend didn't treat her that well and ended up in jail a few times, her grandpa was in the hospital and she got pretty sick for a bit herself and she felt alone. I knew she was stressed...but I didn't know it was that bad.
I don't get it though...how could one think that that's what is going to fix the situation? With two little boys both less then 2 years old needing a mother to help them..why would ending your life be the right thing to do?
I understand that with depression reason goes out the window as it does with anxiety...but I don't get how it goes that far out the window. I don't get what pushed her to do that. She wasn't a best friend of mine but we were just building our friendship. She was 25...she was just starting to open up to me...if she could have waited a bit longer maybe she wouldn't have felt so alone?
I just want to understand what pushes someone that far....
Perhaps she felt she was protecting her children from herself.......

Oh my god Dani! This is so terribly sad, I hope you're okay. I knew of someone in high school who took their life as well, and even though I didn't know them it left me with the exact same questions. Call me anytime if you need to talk!
