I felt like my life was completed (that I unable to accomplish anything else) and no longer worth living at age 51. The only thing wrong with my heath then was that I was overweight (my back would occasionally go out because of this)--boy, was I a lot more flexible and I had much less pain (I am 57 now). I nearly succeeded in ending my life. Like some others on this thread, my children were part of the crisis. There were some areas where I felt like I had failed them. I thought there was nothing else I could do to help them other than leave them some money. I realize I am worth more than that now. I realize that I do not choose when I go. I still try to help them as much as I can but realize that they are the ones in control and responsible for their lives though I try to be encouraging to them as much as I can....

I let my sons live and let live as much as I can. I'm not one of those mothers who live for them, although I have to say I feel like I'd never commit suicide,. thinking it might devastate them or at least affect them negatively.

I'm 66 and have a lot I want to accomplish before passing on.

Parent Suicide does negatively affect children. It just passing on the stress, trauma, depression, thoughts of suicide on to the kids. I mean after all these were strong people in the eyes of the children. Children often mimic the parents because of their respect and admiration of them. The easy way out does seem easy until the dust settles and the damage is more wide spread than ever thought. IMHO
