Suicide is basically a very selfish act.
So are judgemental comments in situations like this. The last thing families of suicide victims (yes, victims) want is to think that their beloved persons left this life as the result of a deliberately cruel decision. Many prefer to say, accurately, that their loved ones died of depression, which is an illness. Unable to bear further suffering. Akin to someone throwing themselves out of a burning building.

So denial is preferable to reality? There is nothing cruel about facing the truth.

"Too bruised to touch"What a great quote. I don't think people really want to die, they just cannot live anymore.
