I used to be extremely critical of suicide, but as I get older, I’m surrounded by people my age who have no support system after loved ones around them die or otherwise leave. I cannot imagine the hopelessness of some of their situations as they become infirm and ill.

I even had a late-60’s friend of mine tell me outright that when his wife passes away, he’ll probably do himself in, being childless.

Well that’s odd. All the PSAs I’ve been seeing lately tell us how guns are the main choice for sewercides. The 100,000+ drug ODs per year, I guess, aren’t classified as that.

The wife watches that stuff. I told her the day the news hit that it was a suicide.

Waiting for RFKjr to ban those OTC antihistamines because they’re ineffective. </sarc>

All I see on that med list are drugs for sinus treatment and some alcohol. It must have been the quantity of these meds ingested at once that did her in.
I was using diphenhydramine as needed for my sinuses, untila few months ago, when I read prolonged use of that drug might make dementia more likely.

And yet her show, Worst Cooks in America,, is set to start a new season soon.

Guess her family will get paid.

Chef Burrell didn't talk politics on her shows and by all appearances and according to those who encountered her in public and those who knew her, she was a kind and generous human being.

Cโ€™mon people, we didn't walk in her shoes so we don't know why she chose to take her own life but the hateful comments here are really out of character for FR. Knock it off!
