Susan is wife of Matthew and mother of four, a boy, a girl and a set of twins. She realizes that she's fortunate to have her life with a husband who is outwardly devoted, four healthy children and a large house. However, she feels often depressed and becomes withdrawn, unable to cope with the demands of her life, which she sees as overwhelming to the point that she gives up and commits suicide.
