To pay the ferryman, to cross the river Styx?

Is there supposed to be some humor there?
No, not at all.

Okay, I looked it up and I apologize for thinking you were being less than respectful to the child. Did momma have a coin under her tongue too? Again sorry. ty
Seriously, it's the only possible reason IMO Was she into Greek mythology?
The payment for carrying the soul typically was a coin placed under the tongue.

She was Jewish. I don't think coin episode was at the time of her jumping off.
She just did it in the past. So it's very unlikely it had anything with Greek mythology.
Ancient Jews also placed coins in the mouth it over eyes.
I don't know the reason, just that it was done.

She was writing about all bad things she did in the past, such as putting a blanket over his face or putting a coin into his mouth then removing it.
It wasn't done at the time of death.
Maybe she was trying to see if he chokes or suffocates.
24 years ago I suffered from this horrible ailment. I had the worst form-psychosis. Every day I struggled with unending thoughts/urges to hurt myself and my daughter. Back then no one really treated this disorder so I went through a lot to even get diagnosed. I was put in a hospital and family members took care of my daughter until I was on the right medication. I was hearing voices telling me to hurt us. I was seeing billboards that told me to hurt us. It was a living hell that today I still don't know how we both survived it. I knew the day I had my daughter that "something was wrong" but no one listened. My daughter was 10 months old before I was able to find someone to help me. I NEVER gave up reaching out for help.
Now I volunteer for a hotline in my state that is for PPD. We get back to the mom's who call (or dad's or grandma) within 24 hours, we have grants that pay for them to get medication and counseling. We send them personal letters and we do everything we can do. Everyone that volunteers has to have gone through PPD themselves and have to be 2 years from when they recovered.
I so wish Cynthia had found someone to help her.
She was Jewish. She put coin into his mouth then removed it. It wasn't at the time of her jumping off. Who knows why she did the things she did, she was obviously unwell mentally.

How do we know her intent was to kill the baby? Why not just drop him first then jump after?
