thought this was sad and a little odd

that's absolutely devastating and heartbreaking...

just completely heartbreaking

the loss of a child is just an unbearable thing - i know and their loss was just too much to bear

so incredibly sad

RIP

I hope you have not had to live through that

I often think I couldn't live if I lost one of my children, but how could I leave the others without a mother? I could never do that to them. Thankfully this was their only child

Sad. I can't even imagine.

yeah....sorry for the horrible story but i thought it was kinda interesting

i mean living through that baby experience must have been tough

she is japanese and maybe could not deal with it so suicide is actually an option

and he prob could not live without the two of them

very sad indeed

we had a still born daughter (LEIA GRACE) at full term april 21st 2003 just an unthinkable hideous time

How very sad,

hemphizzx said:

So sorry for your loss, hemphizzx. Leia Grace is simply a beautiful name.

If I didn't have Prince playing in the background I would've cried

that is just devastating

Speechless.....

How awful.

Speechless.

I read about this yesterday. how sad

desperation. A very real thing. So sad. They're together at least.

Terrible thing.

No one can stop a person who truly wants to take his/her own life, but this speaks to the importance of having loved ones to shepherd over us in times of grief. This sort of anguish can be deadly when it is suffered in solitude.

So terribly sad. Losing a child is the most devastating thing on earth.
I pray they found peace.

I don't think it's odd, it takes at least a couple years to come to terms with loss like this. Life is never the same again in any case, but if you don't take the time to fully mourn and accept the loss, it would be easy to believe that suicide is the way to be together.

Life goes on but it is never "all right" again.

Imagine that they cultivated this choice inside each other? That is astounding.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

That idea always bowls me over in multiple suicide situations. It's stunning the sorts of things we can come to jointly when all parties involved are compromised somehow.

Is it just me?

I think this is kind of cool. I mean, presumably it was their choice together. They wanted to join their child in death. I think there's something kind of beautiful about that.

PunkMistress said:

Philisophically yes. I'm sure they are leaving behind a whole lot of people who aren't feeling the beauty of this.

PunkMistress said:

I agree
It's incredibly bitter as it is sweet...

PunkMistress said:

I disagree, it's awful because the loss that they felt when their son died is now the loss that their family/friends will feel about them. It's incredibly selfish, imo.

Or maybe their family and friends should now kill themselves too?

I dunno, this whole story is terrible.

Suicide is incredibly selfish, you are taking away the pain from yourself, and placing it on the ones who you leave behind.

PaisleyPark5083 said:

Exactly.

Sad. Imagine the grief that they felt.

JustErin said:

Maybe there wasn't that kind of loss. Maybe nobody liked them!
