I lost my mother tonight. She was battling her demons of gambling addiction and debt issues. I've tried to keep her chin up and help her without over pressuring her but I guess she became to ashamed of herself. She showed no sudden signs of change, we spoke today, we had a good chat and talked about how we were going to fix things.

I left to go to the park with my dog and boyfriend... and I returned to my worst nightmare. My mother committed suicide. My boyfriend and roommate tried to revive her but it was too late, paramedics took her to the ER and tried for two hours but she had gone to long without oxygen. She took all her medications at once... 5 bottles.

Please, if you cannot donate to help, then help by telling someone you love how you feel, tell someone hurting that you are there for them and lend an ear. Open a door for someone. Smile. Find a way to display anger gently and try to understand that addictions can be really hard. Don't give up on someone... Life is too short :c
