I can tell you she is forever damaged by her failed attempt. I will never have my mother again. There are still days I weep uncontrollably when I think about sitting at her bedside while watching a respirator breathe for her, wondering who she would be when she came around. She walked herself into the woods and took a massive amount of a combination of drugs she had apparently, stockpiled. The paramedics barely found her in time. I lost my best friend that day. I miss her so much.
