Dr. Faith Cranfield:

Yes, because she now sees it as a much more reasonable solution to her distress. When she is distressed, feels a burden and does not recognise herself, she sees death as a much more reasonable solution. That makes it a lot harder for us to protect her from that feeling of being a burden, particularly with a family in its shared helplessness rowing in behind that, and to support her to become herself in ways she recognises again and to go back to being the mother she normally is, maybe in spite of the fatigue and needing help with things and being able to have those really important discussions she has been protecting her family from. Once they are had, she can continue to protect them.
