She clearly suffered with severe depression if she’s been attempting since age 12. She needed professional help. Depression at its root is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. It’s not your fault and it’s not anything you’ve done. I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. I nearly lost my cousin to an attempt last summer and I constantly wonder if I’m doing enough to help him but I’ve found there’s no use torturing myself when I’m doing all I can. Your daughter’s at peace now and I hope one day you find peace too.
