Help! My Ex-Fiance Just Died. Now His Mother Is Accusing Me of Something Horrific.
Briefly

A woman expressed condolences to her ex-fiancé's mother after learning of his suicide. The mother blamed her for his death, prompting the woman to consider whether to engage with her further. It is suggested to not engage, as romantic disappointments alone do not cause suicides. The mother is coping with a tragedy and projecting her grief onto someone else, creating a need for blame. It's advised to close the door on this situation for peace of mind.
If romantic disappointment caused suicide, we would see a lot more suicide. Instead, most men who feel slighted by the way their relationships have turned out simply start listening to bad podcasts about how to be alpha males.
She's a grieving woman who is reeling from an awful tragedy, and you can't take what she says at face value. You've given her someone to blame, which she probably really needs to cope with right now.
