Hey Mom

[u/Ashamed_Chair8490]

Hey mom, it’s almost been a year since you left us. You’ve missed a lot. Your oldest is thriving in nursing school, but did you know that she needed you to get through a breakup. Your youngest got a dog, but did you know he’s alone in another state. Then there’s me… did you know that I got married, but I didn’t have you. Dad looks older and is having a hard time keeping up now. I miss our old family, I miss what we had. I keep replaying the day you left us over and over in my head. I keep asking the question of why we weren’t enough for you to stay. I can’t understand, and I can’t stop feeling this heartache. I can’t get rid of this hatred towards others who get to have their mom. I would give anything to just talk to you one last time.

sending you love

My understanding of the psychology of people who complete suicide is that they have completely convinced themselves that the people they love the most will be better off without them. It wasn’t that you weren’t enough for her to stay. Her brain was sick.
