This might be a good time to hug your family members and tell them that you love them.
When they recently found her man dead I kind of thought this might happen with all that she has been through over the years. Sad. She had great talent at one time but just couldnt shake her demons. RIP.
Her death was 100% preventable, IF we had a mental health system that was worth a damn at all in this country. Unfortunately, opposing sides came together in the early 80's and deinstitutionalized patients in mental hospitals held against their will. left-wing reformers who thought they were protecting the "rights" of mental patients teamed up with right-wing libertarians to discharge patients. Reagan was for reducing monetary burdens on states and the ACLU thought institutionalizing people was a violation of their rights.
Since then, people who desperately need help are frequently abandoned. They make up a sizable portion of the full-time homeless population, because there's no place to put them and no one wants anything to do with them. When you research mass killings, there's a significant upward trend ever since that point in time. It's sad and pathetic, and both sides are at fault.

Scumbag druggie or not, she meant the world to somebody.
This is not shocking. I'm not even mildly surprised, really.
But what it is, is terribly, terribly sad.
Watching the news reports about her the last few years has been like watching a train wreck, in super, super slow motion.
And, I agree, I will guarantee you, she meant the world to several people, not the least of which is more than likely her children.
May God Bless her tortured soul.

We lost a good member here to suicide not that long ago. It's a sad sad deal.
I know it's not much, but I'm truly sorry for y'all's loss.
It was really a single lawsuit that ended mental institutions in the US. From what I have read and watched on TV, the places needed to close anyway.
She had enough money to get proper care, our medical system is not really to blame. However, you are correct there are many people who need help, which cannot get help.

I have pretty strong feelings about suicide and people who commit it, especially when they have a family who depends on them. I've been directly effected by it so ill keep those feelings to myself. Nowadays, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who HASN'T been directly effected by it. It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
