About

Mom Would Be Sad refers to a group of phrasal templates often used in jokes and memes about suicide and depression. In these memes, "mom would be sad", "dog wouldn't know why I'm gone" and similar statements are portrayed as primary reasons why the author of the post chooses not to commit suicide.

Origin

Before "Mom Would Be Sad" emerged as a phrasal meme format, threads in which users admitted that unwillingness to inflict pain on their parents was a major reason in their decision not to commit suicide became a recurring trope on 4chan.[1][2]

I remember one who killed himself by shotgun slug after he came back from Iraq. There was nothing left of him, and his father got home just as we were getting ready to leave. I couldn't let him see, so l stood there and just didn't let him through. He went downstairs to the basement and clutched his sons old baseball glove, rocking back and forth, just saying "papas here, buddy, papas here." Don't do it anons >>45172699 #
