The protagonist of this tragic story is María del Carmen Vargas, 30 years old, whose husband died in 2021. The woman used to assure everyone that her late partner Mayimbe was the love of her life, and after his death, she could not recover.
The woman’s pain was so much that she decided to commit suicide by drinking a bottle of poison or in front of her husband’s grave. The young woman’s body was found lying on the concrete that covered her husband’s coffin.
The woman committed suicide using poison.
The young woman’s mother, Mery Carminela Turbí, told local media that her daughter committed suicide because she couldn’t bear her husband’s absence. He assures that the young woman used to be very happy and cheerful, but after learning of the death of her lover, she changed radically, indicating that they thought it was normal for María to be sad, but they never imagined that she would take her own life.

What are the signs of suicide?
Although we can never be sure if a person wants to take their own life if we can find some of the warning signs that someone is thinking about suicide, these are:
Talk about: wanting to die, feeling tremendous guilt or shame, and being a burden to others.
Feel: empty, hopeless, trapped, or without a reason to live; extremely sad, anxious, agitated, or angry; in excruciating pain, be it emotional or physical.
Change behavior, such as: making a plan or investigating ways to die; walking away from friends, saying goodbye, giving away essential items, or making a will; doing very risky things like driving extremely fast; displaying extreme mood swings; eating or sleeping too much or too little; use drugs or alcohol more often.
