High Profile Suicides

[Meadowsweet]

Something that struck me about this story was an interview the PC Rathbonein which he said that he would try to imagine the faces of his daughters, but he would see the face of Roal Moat instead.He also suffered from nightmares of the incident.

When I am having images or nightmares I bring myself back to the present by putting a light on and looking at the things around me. Similarly, if I'm out in public and feeling jumpy, I'm able to see whats coming. To have all those images and feelings coming to mind without being able to open your eyes and distract your mind, I think would be too much for me to cope with.

It might seem strange, but I can kind of understad the suicidal person. But I feel like I wish I could try to explain to the family, because I feel they will go through hell trying to get their heads around it.

I almost want to speak for the suicidal person and say the things that were left unsaid.

Wow, that is exactly how I feel meadowsweet. There is nothing they could have done, it is not lack of love for them, etc.

I have nightmares about the abuse but do not wake up, or cant wake up. It is like it is real and when I try to awake I am unable. At least I do have control of the daytime thoughts. In the nightmares, the face is vivid, but the feelings are more vivid, I am powerless and paralyzed. I cant wake but I know if I stay I will turn to dust-and that is how I escape in my dream. I evaporate. Then he is really angry and raging and saying bad things and I try not to listen. I understand his choice too well.
