This is a double tragedy.
I have a friend (A) whose friend (B) immolated herself. It is an absolutely horrific way to die. B had actually driven herself to a garbage dump to do it. A now carries serious emotional pain every day because she didn't know B was suicidal, and feels incredible guilt and trauma knowing how lonely and agonising her friend's death was. B's other friends and family feel the same pain.
I'm sorry but I am full of compassion for this poor soul. The way she died is proof that she punished herself with shame and grief, far more than Nancy Grace or any of us could. It is an agonising, prolonged and horrific death and speaks volumes about self-hatred.
Yes she caused her baby to die because she was an alcoholic, but alcoholisim is a disease and should be treated as such. If this woman had've received some treatment before/during/after pregnancy the chances are both would still be alive.
Victimising this woman to death is not constructive, moral, Godly, or kind. We should be learning from our mistakes as a society, and taking steps to ensure that this sort of avoidable tragedy does not happen again. IMO it is a community failure and by demonising an ill woman we are ignoring our own roles in contributing to the tragedy by "turning a blind eye" when someone is in dire straits and needs help, as this lady so obviously was.
