My brother did that.

I forgive and actually respect him for it. I understand why he went that route.

He did leave two children and two extremely grieving parents behind, who I still catch randomly sobbing for him even 10 years later.

Ultimately it’s your call, and while the grief of the living shouldn’t be a hugely motivating factor, at least maybe consider writing your survived by’s personal letters of goodbye and explanation. It’ll mean so much to them.

Take care.
