Yes, especially since my sister tried to ctb I think a year and a half ago or so. I just know they'd feel it's their fault, because that's exactly how they felt back then. and while my sister and I are basically strangers to each other, and I do think she's in a better place now (though, how would I know, since we don't talk) I still worry she'd be next in line for the bus. That's probably a ridiculous thought, but... if that happened, I think that kind of loss could break anyone.
it breaks my heart thinking about it, but at the same time... I'm not here because I want to die, I'm here because I want to live but currently see no future for myself in which I can do so humanely. I take some solace in the idea that if it comes to the point where I feel I am no longer able to live a humane life, maybe I can convince them of that fact. maybe I can convince them that yes, I tried, and yes, I put a lot of thought into this, and no, this wasn't preventable or fixable, it was a road reaching its end. that this was the better option, maybe the only option. anyway... I'm about to go off topic.
