[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This gutted me, as I used to think like this before my mom died.  It's often the only thought that saved me from suicide.  And then my brother died by suicide.

"For my whole life, I have tried to be good, to be a good student and a good sister and a good daughter, and to protect my mother and never make her upset or angry. Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it."

I admire the decency and social conscience with which Caroline's children were raised.[/quote]

Losing a child is the worst. My heart goes out to them. [/quote]

I think losing a parent when you are that young is worse. They will spend their whole lives longing for her, wanting to know her but never really being able to and every milestone and growth in maturity will open that wound anew. They will have to grieve and regrieve her again and again. [/quote]

No they will not. Under three yrs old and they will have very little, if any memory of her, only what is captured in photographs and film and what is told to them. If they are lucky they will be raised by family and potentially step family and they will be surrounded by love, no doubt.[/quote]

I read somewhere that it is even harder for kids with no memory of their deceased parent. They are grieving something they never knew and that parent will forever be a mystery, which can be very difficult to process. It's not like they won't know they lost a parent - even if their dad remarries someone great and loving, they will know they lost their mom and that they have no idea who she is. [/quote]

Yup. Sometimes not remembering them is worse than remembering them. I have no doubt they will be loved but it’s not the same. She will always be a ghost to them.  [/quote]
I hope they’ll know how much she loved them even if just through the words in her essay. I have to imagine she’ll leave them with more letters, but it’ll never be enough.

I have a 4 and 2 year old myself and am just devastated for her. I have another friend whose husband recently passed of cancer at 35 too with 2 kids under 5. It’s so horrible.

I got cancer when my only child was in first grade. Thank God I survived, but as a single parent, all I could think about was her. [/quote]
