I had a thought about this this morning.

Because of my depression, sometimes I let people down. I don't perform up to my usual high standards. I disappoint myself, and assume I disappoint others. I start to think they would be better off without me.

I am far from suicide. I have the self-honesty to break through this and see the reality that folks close to me would not be better off without me, and I know they do not want to see me go away abruptly. But, I can understand how these delusions could take hold of someone.

So, maybe CQ's friend, Tonya, and Maggie thought they were doing others a favor by leaving this mortal coil, and did not think we would be harmed. Maybe, they really thought we would be better off if they were dead. Maybe the act is not as selfish as I thought.
