Suicide

My mom and my brother both killed themselves. I miss them and I really wonder why folks view death by suicide as anything worse than death by any other means. Someone who's gone to a really dark place isn't really all that different than someone who's got heart trouble or cancer or anything else. Society sure seems more forgiving of some types of deaths than others. Which raises another question, why do we feel the need to judge any kind of death? Life ends. but whether it ended because someone hit the accelerator rather than the brake or because someone smoked too much or drank too much or ate too many high-fat foods or just couldn't find their way out of the darkness, it's all sad and tragic and we need to stop judging.
