Consider this:
When food resources are for whatever reason slim, some animals, primarily insects, resort to matriphagy to survive. The brood literally eats their mother. The craziest part? The mother doesn't attempt to save herself. She doesn't fight or flee. She allows it to happen for the advancement of the species. That is all that matters, her continued existence in the world no longer serves a purpose. Her death means more at that point than her life.

One day I was feeling particularly generous, I ate your Mother.

Never again, I barely survived it.
