Hey Eros,
My mother killed herself too. Drank anti-freeze. Pretty easy way to go IMO and no big mess for the family to clean up. I was pretty fxcking hurt for a week or so, but I think my experiences with her mental illness helped me get "over" it quicker than other people who may not have had much warning before a loved one kills themselves.
She was manic-depressive and was always pretty eccentric. She was the type of person who could get a $400 dollar bill for a car repair, panic that it's such a big bill, and yet have 1000's of dollars sitting in the bank and stashed away in her house. She rarely drank, never did drugs, was a garage-sale fanatic and collected books. By all means people would think she was normal until she would goto work wearing a mickey mouse hat on a jeans day friday.
Mental illnesses are a really shitty thing to treat. When my mother was on meds, she was a zombie devoid of much personality. I actually liked her more when she acted pretty nutty.
Hehe, I have nothing but pleasent memories of her now, and to be honest, I don't think I would have changed things. She probably had more fun while being somewhat unstable, than when she was drugged up and lethargic.
