I'd hate to think my death was classed as suicide when it was otherwise.
(Not it as though I'd be around to give a damn).
absolutely, TGY. such a cruel and hideous load for her kids to carry, people will say all sorts of excuses, but kids don't understand those points of view.. to them, it seems Mum chose to leave, .. I think it pretty distasteful to dwell on it. And there is no evidence whatsoever to assume that to be the case. She embraced the Ocean side culture. She bought a house within spitting distance of the Southern Ocean. Her kids were nippers, First thing a nipper is taught, ( long ago memories of being a nip) was what happens to you if you don't take the ocean seriously.
She would have known it would not be a pleasant death. There is no reason to believe that she was dead when whatever it was that smashed her body to pieces ran into her. She would have known that she most likely would end up as she did, in bits, on some beach, .. close by, which is worse. She would not have been ignorant of the very element she wanted to live next to and apparently loved enough to spend a million getting close to it.
She took care of her appearance, of her physical condition... of her physical capacity to withstand exhaustion.. I was interested in her being a winner at golf and tennis, too.
So no. I don't think suicide at all. ... victimizing a victim all over again.
You and I know, TGY, that somewhere down the road, some insurance company is going to ring a bell, and then it's stand back and hold on.. . ...
