There Is feel, maybe another important issue as to why this poor girl felt the need to end her life. Maybe regardless of her mental state before hand.

Her name was Jacintha Saldanha. She may well have been a British national, but there are huge cultural differences between us Brits.

There is in certain cultures,a huge sence of pride (and expentancy almost), in what members of their particular cultures achieve/don't achieve in life.

Maybe her education was financed by her family, she maybe felt she had let them down for fear of losing her job and being in the media spotlight for the wrong reasons.

It's difficult, I guess what i'm trying to say is, if she had been a british born and bread national, the chances are there wouldn't have been any loss of life.

Maybe it was to do with her culture, and potential shame that she felt she could have put on them, as to why she took her life.

It's a different world out there, as we all know.

Snackboyslim - thank you - you have covered a point that I was not sure how to put into words.

Hence why I chose to use the words 'as well as there upstanding beliefs'
True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.

I think also her apparent lack of family support, she lived away from her husband and children. No doubt time will tell and reasons will become apparent. My heart goes out to her family.

My Mum made the same remark about pride and the perceived shame she may well have felt and i think she was living in nursing accommodation which may have been more convenient for work. I do think that the press have now blown it out of all proportion.
