• If it is perfectly acceptable for a widow to disfigure herself or commit suicide to save face for her husband's family, why should a mother not be moved to extreme action by the loss of a child or children?

If she does, why wouldn't she wish to leap from a cliff, hang from a branch, or swallow lye?

But I think the idea that you can have these impactful moments that are as heightened as the loss of a child - it's life.
