Shan George has stated that she reached a point of such profound despair that she was ready to take her own life.
She said that the constant financial struggle and the emotional weight of her mother's long illness had pushed her to the brink, and she saw no other way out.
In a candid interview with Chude Jideonwo, Shan George recounted the night she decided to end her life by drinking a mixture of water and shaving powder.
She told her mother of her plan, and in a moment of unexpected wisdom and love, her mother said that they would have to go together.
In Shan George's words: "I got to a suicidal point. I was so broke one day. One of my visitors, a long time ago, brought this shaving powder, and I wanted to put it in the water and drink.
I told my mother that I'm going to kill myself because I'm tired, I'm frustrated. My mother said, you’re not going alone. We have to go together.’ She took the shaving powder and the cup, and she was pretending that she wanted to mix it.
Then she paused and said, ‘Wait, it's night. If we go and die for night now, what if we arrive the other side so late and we don't know, it will be dark, we will not see road.’ So she said, ‘Let us do it in the morning."
