My mum is a fiercely independent 91 yr old, living alone and isolated during lockdown. She had a bout of illness last weekend and decided to end her life by taking sleeping pills....only she woke up 12 hours later. She fell getting up but was able to call an ambulance a few hours later and is now recovering. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel - her attitude is that at her age and in not great health this was a completely rational and fair decision and her absolute right. The note she left for me and my brothers - which i retrieved yesterday while collecting stuff she needs - said this and to lie to everyone else especially grandchildren about the cause of death.
My teenagers both have mental health problems so she is absolutely right on this, right now I'm finding it hard to support them as normal with all this in my head.
