That's good to hear, graciegirl, about the
Villages Daily Sun not printing stuff about mental illness. There are very strong prejudices against people with some kind of mental illness. And, it is probably not a good idea to report on suicides in case this might trigger people with very real mental illnesses to copy this act.
Unless there is some kind of history of abuse in the family or some other kind of factors involved, it is best that mental illnesses remain an issue of the family involved and their mental health professionals.
