Ozzy and Sharon’s Suicide Pact: How Far Would You Go to Protect Your Kids?
As parents we all want to take the best care possible of our kids. We make sure they eat right, have enough sleep, stop licking the lead off the windowsills, and enough with the TV already. We take it upon ourselves to be their nurturers, their caretakers, and help them develop into people who can eventually navigate the travails of life on their own. That’s what parenting is. But how far would you go to protect your kids from unpleasant or harmful experiences?
Far enough to commit suicide?
Her father died last summer of a degenerative brain disease and it was tremendously difficult for her to watch his decline.

I could not protect my children from grief or pain but I did everything I could to ease it, if even for a second.

Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amMy 21 year old brother committed suicide in July. It doesn’t matter what your reasons are. There are no good reasons.
tiffer commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amAs a child of a parent who committed suicide… though selfish it may be… I would have rather had her here suffering than to lose her so suddenly.
I really don’t think suicide is something you do to protect others. It’s completely selfish. It gets you out of the situation and leaves behind a lot of confused and hurt people.

LeighS commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amAfter seeing my grandmother die a very long, drawn-out death from Alzheimer’s, a death that took 13 years, 9 of which she recognized no one in our family, including her only son (my dad) and seeing the incredible toll it took on him emotionally, physically and financially, I cannot imagine that it was something she would have wanted him to endure, or herself, for that matter. I have no problem with Sharon’s desire, and understand her motivations first-hand. But how I hope it never happens in her family, mine, or anyone else’s!
