Mother killed herself after care struggle
DESPAIR Jane Kavanagh A SINGLE mum killed herself after she struggled to care for her wheelchairbound daughter.
An inquest heard Jane Kavanagh, 33, had been a full-time carer to her 15-year-old daughter who suffered from degenerative Cerebral Ataxia.
In a suicide note to her parents Alan and Irene Farrar, Miss Kavanagh wrote: “I just can’t find a way to drag myself out of this s***hole of a life.”
She was found hanged from a balcony by neighbours at her home in Rochdale on April 21.
Just 24 hours before her death Miss Kavanagh had called her GP surgery and explained she had suicidal thoughts – but was only offered an appointment for 12 days later.
Verdict: Suicide.
