Please don't ask
I can't explain
Why it haunts
My mothers name.
Begins with J
That's all l'll say
I think about her
every day.
Wondering how she'd have turned out.
I mean, if she had stuck around.
Topping herself at 42
What a fucking thing to do
Selfish cow, or poor, lost lamb.
I'll never know, or understand.
Women are meant to love their young
Well?
AREN'T THEY ?

Hi Denni,
I was so moved by this piece of writing, mainly
due to the fact my mum took her own life, jumping
from the bathroom window.
Who knows why these things happen? fear is maybe
one, but it's very sad for those left behind.
My thoughts go out to you and I hope it's a
situation you can finally come to terms with.

Hi denni,
so sorry to come late back to your comment.
Can I first say how great it was to see this had
been cherry picked.
I hope you understand that I don't really want
to talk about my mum. It was back in 2000, so I've
kind of accepted what happened and have now moved
on. But I wish you well and hope that time heals,
as it has me, although it's something I don't think
you ever forget.
All the best.
Jenny.
