People who take their own lives are often mentally ill and need help.

Damn.

You know, the Kennedy's, I despise them.

But I still feel empathy for anyone who is so desolate, so hopeless, that they think death is preferable to working through the temporary problem, whatever it is, that I face.

When I first was trying to get clean, I'd stumble. And on a relapse, when I was feeling awful, I'd want to kill myself. I called my sponsor one of those times. He said, "Well, don't do that!!!"

I asked, "Why not?"

"Because you'd be killing the wrong guy," he responded.

Stayed my hand.

Hanging is an unusual way for a woman to commit suicide.

Her body was found hanged in a barn.

There are no witnesses to the hanging. That she hanged herself is an assumption only.

Well, what can you say—she was married to a Kennedy.

How terribly tragic. With all that the family has, they certainly have had more than their share of sorrows. May God bless her children and give them peace, and forgive her for taking her own life. She must have felt very desperate. Very sad.

"Because you'd be killing the wrong guy," he responded.

Meaning, who'd have been the right guy?

Kennedy style suicide = murder. He’ll get away with it too.

My heart goes out to those children who must now live without a mother and spend their lives wondering why this happened.

I also feel for Mary Richardson Kennedy and what she must have gone through enduring life within the Kennedy cult.

The first thing I thought was that this just happened today, and already the news report is conclusive that it was suicide? Since it's the Kennedys, if it WASN'T suicide, we'll never know.

Suicide is the permanent solution to a temporary problem.

That is so sad. But there is NOTHING in this world bad enough to make you take your own life. You are all you have.

I feel sorry for her kids and her parents and family,

Why should anyone feel sorry for the Kennedy’s, she was no longer a Kennedy, and the Kennedy’s didnt feel sorry for Mary Jo.

Couldn’t adjust to being an ex-princess, or what?

years of listening to RFK jr’s whiney voice probably drove her to it.
