Good choice. It’s a special kind of deep despair and helplessness knowing the child you raised and loved so much could do this to themselves. Unbelievably deep despair that no other person could feel other than those who experience that pain.
The question “What did I do wrong” will resonate with them the rest of their life. Most parents would give our own lives for our child’s life. I feel this way about my children even at 40, 38, 33, & 32, my children’s current ages.

The thought of my poor mother. She’s been through a lot, I could never do this to her.
