Re: Mother commits suicide at same spot as her only daughter
I only have one child, and I'm not sure I'd want to keep living if he killed himself.
I would wake up every day feeling like an utter failure at life who had nothing to contribute and nothing to look forward to.
An accident or illness, and I could keep going; but suicide sends such an ugly message to everyone the person knows. This is especially true to the parents. The child is basically saying "I hate the life you gave me, and I wish you'd never done it". After all the love and sacrifice of being a parent, that's pretty brutal.
