I think all of our thoughts are with Mary Alice as she goes through this most difficult time. Msny people are so shocked and amazed that Mary Alice could think of ending her own life and leaving her son without a mother. I know suicidal parents, including me, actually rationalize and feel that their chidlren in many ways would be better off without them. In many cases had it not been for their children such people would of went through with it a long time ago. Children do inspire us to hang in there as long as we can.

I feel so deeply for Mary Alice, I share her pain and hope that she can find a way out of her feelings of hopelessness. Living a life where each and every day your pain exceeds your ability to cope is such an incredible struggle. The suffering that Mary Alice must be going through must be incredibly painful. I can relate so much to her and my prayers are with her as we both seemed to be following the same path.
