Mind-boggling and heart-breaking

We should know the whole story before expressing our thoughts. May be she had such a bad life that she did not want to see her children live the same horrible life.

It is truly tragic news, and when someone loses all hope in life and the future, they may feel that ending their life is the only way to escape the suffering they are enduring. While her actions cannot be justified as the right choice, it is possible to try to understand what might have been in her mind when committing such a devastating act toward her children and herself. It could stem from mental health struggles or a desperate attempt to find relief from the pain and suffering they were experiencing.

I don’t believe it is ever one thing. She obviously had mental issues. That may be what she said, but I would bet her mental state was altered, and that’s simply what her brain deceived her to think. If she had been wealthy, my bet would be her mental state would have had her do the same thing, only for a different reason.

that is tragic and horrible

Heartbreaking.

"how could anyone sane do that?" That’s no longer a sound mind at work. When someone does something that tragic, their thinking is no longer clear or rational—they’ve already been consumed by despair.

It's very sad... The woman couldn't see a way out of the situation and thought she chose the best solution.

I don't know the woman's circumstances. All life is sacred. There must have been something that could have been done besides that.

That is very sad.

It’s so sad that she did not ask for help. Lives lost ….

Some people just lose it and take the extreme step. She might have lost all hope and left with only despair. Murdering her children is so horrible but in her anguish she might have thought better that they leave with her too. I cannot imagine taking such a step but I recall one doing that as he was suffering excruciating pain from cancer.

Why at all did she give birth to them. That was very cruel of her.

This is something I can't understand either. I mean, in the animal kingdom, it is not uncommon for a mother to kill some of her litter to save some if times are lean or there are other issues. But these are animals without the same senses we, as humans have. So...I can't put the two together.
