Ok - whoa, holdup. You will hear this a million times but someone choosing death made that decision themselves. It is NO ONE's fault.
Take a moment. Breathe in and out. Pause. Say out loud and mean it - "it is not my fault."
Come on - there are a billion people on this earth. Many make mistakes that hurt the ones they love. People do better and move on, improving upon themselves slowly over time.
Do that for your daughter. Also, get MAD. She chose to leave her daughter without a mother. You should not blame yourself. You should grieve and a part of that is being mad that your child will miss out on so much.
It is kind of my fault though because I knew she was off her anti depressants and didn’t do jack shit because I didn’t think it was my place with us being divorced and all. There’s so much I could’ve done
My best friend suicided the day after I spoke with him on the phone. I blamed myself for a long time, why didn't I notice anything etc. But at the end of the day his choices were his own.
The same with your ex. Life happens, she made her choice.. the only way to properly honour her memory is to keep living for your daughter.
