The lady who played god...
I can't help but be overwhelmed with emotions when I heard about the suicide of the lady, who brought along her two kids. What a tragedy...
This led me to think a little further. Putting myself in her shoes...Learning that I'm down with a terminal illness. Hmmm...In a way, it really does make sense to end your life because you'll save your family a whole lot of money...assuming that after you undergo treatment, you still don't 'make it'.
But the thing that really hits me is the fact that she took her two young and innocent daughters with her. I mean, who are you to play god and decide that your kids should die along with you, so you can take a load of your grief-stricken husband? In fact, won't it make more sense for you to 'leave' behind some part of yourself for the people that you love dearly?...
*Sigh*...It's a weird feeling. Although we're all strangers, my heart really goes out to the family. Let's all keep them in our prayers...
