A 29-year-old woman whose greatest wish was to ‘settle down and get married’ killed herself after becoming troubled that she was approaching 30 unmarried and childless.
Rachel Gow, 29, from Haslingden, Lancashire, struggled to overcome the death of her mother, and desperately wanted a family of her own.
According to Dailymail, but as her 30th birthday approached, she revealed to family members that she felt she was ‘not where she should be in life’ and that other members of her family were ‘doing better than her.’
The inquest was told that she was worried her boyfriend Anton Tsvarev, 30 would leave her, and suffered a number of insecurities about the relationship.
The day she died, Miss Gow sent him a text message wishing him ‘all the best for the future’ before poisoningherself.Mr Tsvarev who had been visiting a friend later found Miss Gow but she died despite attempts by him to revive her.
The day before Rachel was found last November 1, the couple went to her father’s house to look after his dog while he was away. But in the morning, the couple had an argument over a text message Miss Gow had found on Mr Tsvarev’s phone from someone else.
He said:
‘In the morning we both got up. I had my phone on charge in the bed room. She looked at it. She came into the living room very upset telling me to leave. She had found texts on my phone fromsomeone. They were not out of the ordinary. She didn’t see it that way.’
Later that the day couple drove home to their house in Haslingden and Anton went out to visit a friend in Preston. He said:
‘She was still upset when we arrived home. She was very agitated. This was not a new thing. ‘I got a text from her wishing me the best for the future. It was common place after an argument so I didn’t think anything of it.’
However Mr Tsvarev ‘had a really bad feeling’ so he decided to go back to Haslingden to see if everything was alright. He said:
‘ I went into the lounge. The lights were off but the fire was on. I could see her lying on the floor.’
