She was young relatively speaking and a fitness personality. I've never heard of her before the videofitness thread. But when someone young dies we want to know first we think car accident, cancer but with her public lifestyle suicide is just not on our radar.
So people are curious what happen in her life that would lead someone that appears to have it together choose suicide.
There will be speculation relationship issues or business things lead them to depression.
The depressed person feels like the world would be better off without them.
What you and all other need to do is educated yourself so you will recognized signs in someone you LOVE.
The DUI would of been a redflag to her family. She was self destructive at that point. Many depressed people turn to drugs and alcohol to numb the feeling.
I feel for the family but talking about the signs (DUI) of something in trouble shouldn't be "to sensitive" or intrusive"
You need along with her family see it as a call-for-help.
I'm not a mental health professional but have working in the ER for to many years. I've seen all types of attempted suicide. I've heard so many family members feel the guilt. They will say stuff like they seemed off, or I thought it would just go away or they would never go through with it
The person ultimately that is depressed and chose suicide is mentally sick and as a society we can educated ourselves and try to intervene before the depression takes over.
I do feel for this family. I can't imagine the heart break.
I've dealt with a suicidal family member. I'm was lucky to have been trained and notice signs in time to get help. I'm still scared for them even after 6 year.
