My insane sister in law finally did it

What a sad and tragic ending to a sad and tragic life. I remember reading the original thread about her and her ways. Most people that attempt suicide are really not trying to kill themselves - only crying out for help. Such a shame that she was never able to get that help she so desperately needed. May she now be at peace and free of her demons.

I was talking to my other sister in law the other night. We were asking each other if we've heard from Cindy. Cindy cut herself off from everyone about a month ago. My other siter in law was upset that we had gotten Cindy into an in-patient treatment center last year and Cindy screamed and threatened to sue if they didn't release her.... so they did. Cindy needed to be institutionalized. She was never happy. She had more problems than anyone would ever guess. She was frustrating to say the least, but she was kind and tried to do the best shecould. Her intentions were always good. She just wanted to love and be loved - to feel wanted.

We always knew Cindy was going to commit suicide. It was a matter of when insted of if. We lost count as to how many attempts she's made.

I feel awful that she did this. Whether by design to end it, or for attention.... we kept calling her and checking up on her. She refused to talk to us. She HAD our attention. We were worried about her.

Mental illness is so hard on everyone involved, and at times tragic. Do not blame yourselves, you all tried. Surround her children, if she has any, not only with love but assurances her struggles are over, and they need not follow her path.
