My late husband did this. He was mentally ill, we’d separated, getting a divorce and he did this. And no one found him for days. I couldn’t stay with him anymore, but I never wanted him to die. I am appreciative (more than I can say) that I’m safe now, and our children are safe, but the despair and pain and horror and depression just about ruined my life for about two years. And that was just me. My boys were crushed. Still struggle with it. We’d been married for 23 years. I am brought to tears just remembering that time, 7 years ago.
I understand that the circumstances are different. But life is precious. i’ve been willing to do it before, but my dearest friend got me some help, even though I didn’t want it at the time.
Don’t give up Brittany. I wish I could talk her out of it. Yes, although she’ll have pain and lots of other things. Don’t give in.
Which is what you are.
Very sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing your story, Shimmer1.
I hope, too, that this young woman changes her mind. There’s always hope.
