DH's family lives almost two hours away. MIL was down visiting for the weekend when she got the call. They had to leave right away, so I am here alone with a sleeping baby. I don't even know how to sort this out in my head.
Her 16year old daughter, and DH's 16 year old neice found her
. It was very very bad, she put a shotgun in her mouth. I cannot even imagine what those two girls are going through right now. I just spoke with our neice, she said the daughter was talking to a counselor from the sheriff's department and the priest had arrived. They were all going to pray together. I wish I could get inside their heads and erase what they saw.
She has been ill for two years. She had a high-risk gastric by-pass surgey, got an infection and has been in and out of the hospital since. Dh spoke with her a few days ago, she was saying she couldn't bear to be a sick burden on her daughter. DH feels like she was trying to tell him, and her whole family that this was coming. It seemed like she lived for her daughter, I never would have expected her to leave her daughter like this. The father is not involved, her Mom was her universe from birth.
For the life of me, I can't believe that she woke up this morning, saw her daughter off to school, and put a gun to herself. How long could she have been planning this, how did we not see it coming? We should have known, we should have done something.
Thanks for listening. I feel alone and helpless right now. Everyone I have spoke with is experiencing shock, grief, and anger. I should have gone with DH, but I was in way too much shock to attempt to put together a weekend bag for ds and figure out what to do with the dog. I guess I'll head up tomorrow.
Rest in peace Kathleen.

We just experienced a suicide in our family over Labor Day weekend. So many confusing emotions, such pain. I'm so sorry, my thoughts are with you and your family.
I am sorry to hear that others have gone through this too.
: for her daughter
