This is such a sad and morbid issue in our society. I have attempted suicide in the past. I was dealing with depression and suffered severely. I had no one to talk to and felt like I had nowhere to go.
The only thing that kept me going and stopped me was the thought of what I would put my mother and my children thru.
It’s not fair . I could have ended my suffering and gone into the unknown ( which on some days feels like a relief. It can’t get worse) , but what would happen to those around me . Now that I have children , I think if I were to do it, what would happen to them? Who would care for them? How would they get past it ? What would it do to them? They are the reason why I’m here. The reason I don’t do it. It’s not fair to them. So I think that each situation is different . My siblings would miss me , my friends would miss me , but everyone would get over it . But my kids will have to live with growing up without a mother , and I can’t do that to them.
If their father was more involved and they had a better relationship with him, if I knew they would be in great hands without me , then maybe I still would go thru with it.
I think it’s a very individual based answer.
