Melancholia from mother to daughter: An account of my interview with Elsa - 2022.
15
Elsa is hospitalized after a serious suicide attempt. Ever since the birth of her baby, everything has gone wrong. The death of her grandmother had pushed her into a deep depression and delayed the plans that she and her partner had made to have a baby. Her grandmother’s passing had echoed her mother’s suicide, committed in the house that she has since inherited. The birth of her daughter has made her mother’s absence all the more agonizing.
