The problem was I don't have the right geography near me, nor do I have a car to drive elsewhere. I couldn't think of anything else that would look like a true accident.
F1d0, it's true that the suicide is particularly damaging to a parent, but that doesn't mean that an accidental death would be any more comforting. Even if your parents thought of your death as an accident, it would still change their lives forever for the worst. One of the most devastating things in the world is the feeling of losing a child. I've also thought of a few ways to "accidently" die, and honestly the only reason I'm still here is the thought of how my dad would feel.

I know the thought of continued existance might not be a very comforting one right now, but I hope that reasoning will at least give you a little more strength to keep plugging along.
