  • When a parent commits suicide, he or she leaves their children a legacy of questions that can never fully be answered, and can take the better part of a lifetime to address. For Nancy Rappaport, MD, her own path toward acceptance of her mother's suicide included writing a book, "In Her Wake: A Child Psychiatrist Explores the Mystery of Her Mother's Suicide" (2009). In this interview following her Grand Rounds presentation at the NYU Langone Child Study Center, on Feb. 3, 2012, Dr. Rappaport talked about the process of writing her memoir and what she learned about her experiences.
    Dr. Rappaport is a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, at Cambridge Health Alliance, and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, at Harvard Medical School.

    My mother attempted suicide when I was 14, she failed and I blamed myself and wanted to make her better. The second time I was 16, she failed and I was angry because she promised she wouldnt do it again. The third attempt I was 18 and she slit her wrists and showed me like it was a trophy, I'm still having nightmares about that. At 22 years old she finally succeeded and I still love and hate her right now. It's been 11 years, I'm still dealing as best as I can.
    A parent running away is one thing people can talk about but what about a suicidal parent? Why wasnt I enough?

      That last thing you wrote “why wasn’t I enough” hit me so hard. That’s exactly how I felt when my dad died. I felt like everything was my fault and I fucked up

      I think your mother would go back in time and not have children if she could

    we buried my father and a week later my mother killed herself by gun in her mouth and I found her, this was two days ago - very angry right now. she could not go on without him after nearly 65 yrs I guess he was all that mattered, not her two adult daughters - we didn't matter

      I dump all the pain, anger, confusion and grief on Jesus Christ. Christ died for these sins too. There is no perfect parent Even if we feel justified
      We need help with this

      You matter so much more than you know. I too am often upset and confused when I go through waves of why my mother took her own life... my best friend, it hurts... so badly.
