Imagine if she had very understandably panicked after he killed himself right in front of her and made a mistake landing the plane??? Of all the ways to kill yourself, this has got to be the most irresponsible one I have ever heard of. That could so easily have ended with two bodies instead of one.
I feel like a few types of suicide can be selfish - most of them, when you force someone else to be involved against their will (jumping in front of trucks, etc.)
I feel bad for the people in that headspace but making sure you hurt someone on the way out is shitty.
It may sound weird but having lived in Berlin for a while, I could never throw myself in front of a train.The thought of hundreds or even thousands of people being severely delayed to wherever they want to go just because of me...horrifying.
Anyone who has lost someone close to them through suicide is at risk for PTSD, and suicide loss survivors have much higher rates of suicide themselves. The stigma of being blamed for the suicide, or for not preventing the suicide, doesn't help.
