    I think suicide is a very selfish act, unless it's because of mental illness of course. I'd think you should "grieve less" if someone you know commits suicide because he bankrupted or is unhappy in love. But then I never had such a case (and hopefully won't), so what do I know.

    My ex's uncle though died of cancer and two months later his wife commited suicide, leaving two kids behind (to her credit, they were 20+) because she couldn't live without him. I guess some people didn't feel only grief, but anger too. What kind of mother can let their children lose both parents in a span of two months??

    RIP

    I am hoping we find out more why that happened. The healthy relationship between her and Anderson would imply the reason to live on but Anderson is a baller so more than half a year he is playing and traveling somewhere else, not there to look after her.

    Suicide is pretty much always caused by mental illness (at least in modern western societies)

    Sometimes you shouldn't care about what others say. And sometimes you are just a heartless idiot. When the whole forum hates your attitude, it's time for some self examination.

    I suggest you take a look at your own life and your relationships, and consider adding sympathy to your character. If you are consistent in your fake tough guy holier than thou attitude in real life, I am pretty confident that you don't have many friends and healthy relationships.

    If I am wrong and you are completely happy in life, then never mind. Otherwise, just know sympathy is a two way street.

    I'm quite sure he's a great friend and family member to reach for emotional support. /sarcasm

    My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends. Suicide is a tragedy for all concerned. God bless Gia.

    why so sad people. Somebody just passed as I was typing this. Would you like to live sadly every day? Better yet, would the deceased want us all to live unhappily because someone they don't even know is sad about them. I don't know, but I'm just trying to enjoy my life while I'm still living it. #Bewell friends

    Jesus, Normalus. You completely missed the point.

    I did not overcome depression. In fact, as I type this, I'm dealing with the effects of a bipolar outburst. I kid you not when I say, I might have finally tipped my parents towards divorce (which might be a blessing in disguise, since they probably needed one).

    I came back here when I saw this thread didn't die (which I hoped it would) so I checked it out, hoping- rather naively- that you understood.

    And you did not.

    That last sentence you wrote? The one about debt and people losing a relationship? That's merely the trigger, the "straw that broke the camel's back" if you will.

    I'd love to believe you're just trolling. But I think it's worse. I think you actually believe what you're saying.

    I'm adding you to my ignore list. It's been fun.

    i've concluded after 3 pages that Normalus is a pathetic human being

    btw. i have one question,

    isn't suicide by hanging very rare for women. I've heard it's considered one of the most violent and personal ways to make a statement to your friends and family on your way out. Very in your face, since people will immediately go grab the person and try to bring them down, whereas other violent ways involving blood people might not even touch them.

    I just hope Ryan Anderson had nothing or the least to do with it.
    He seems to be a good guy but you never know.

    You mean directly/murder? or do you mean indirectly/"pushed her to the edge"

    I'm going to make a very layman-based response...you might be able to push a teenager to suicide,,,but I do not agree that pushing an adult to suicide is common. Like everyone has said here, that's her own demons/hell in her clinical depression. It's very unlikely a boyfriend could make that happen in, what?, one year?

    As for directly/murder, I'm pretty sure people spit when hanging by the neck, and the CSI will look for that. Unless you are saying he actually hung her while still alive. I'm going to guess that a murderer would not be able to fake a hanging in an apartment. There are easier ways.

    I think it's stupid for people to say she killed herself because he wouldn't propose to her. That is most likely speculation and people don't really know exactly why she did it. So whatever friends or family giving the media that news is stupid for doing. I'm sure Ryan Anderson is sad enough without having to deal with people blaming him for this.

    18.9% of women kill themselves by hanging, but it's only a little lower than men. 50% of men use a gun, while 40% women prefer poison.

    I wonder since women are typically more concerned with their appearance they want to look decent after death.

    Women attempt suicide more.
    Men are more successful.

    If someone was depressed, why would she choose hanging out of all options she got? Hanging is an old school method and one that normally would not be resorted to. It's very strange.
