Such a shame.
May God have mercy on her
Sad ping
I can’t believe she didn’t video her death in the ultimate selfie. </sarc>
RIP..
I don’t blame her in the least.
So it's not dignified to pass on without help?

“I don’t blame her in the least.”
I don’t either. She was dealt an awful hand.
sad. don’t know a lot of details.
at least she didn’t go heisenberg at the end.
Actually this is pretty darn shocking to me!
We just had that thread about how she changed her mind - about this early date.
Are they saying she suddenly worsened really badly within one day?
I mean no disrespect to the dead, but her last words seemed so hippie-dippie. No mention of God, or meeting her Maker, or worry over heaven & hell — whether she sinned, hurt anyone, transgressed, yada yada. Obviously her suicide was a secular act & secular mindset, but she might be the tip of the iceberg, as far as others in the future making narcissistic choices.
No, man. She was on the ground. She didn't go up in no zeppelin.
Christ died without dignity. Why should I feel I deserve any more?
LOL!
Agreed. I’m not sure God will greet her w open arms. Suicide is still suicide.
I don’t blame her either, but the “holier than thou” crowd will be quick to say it wasn’t her choice to take her own life. To that I say BULLSH#T...they have never seen a horrifying, no-way-out illness up close and personal.
