      The obvious answe- inability to cope with life’s challenges in the absence if sensitive, empathetic support! SIMPLE! WE don’t see each others needs and deem them as important enough to reach out! We are too self-absorbed!

    Cost of living is high, people can no longer afford things. Jobs are hard to find!! People are suffering in silence because they are afraid of being judged!! People have life problems that haunt them for a living!! God deliver your people.

      Job hard to find for our own people and the government is taking in deportees or refugees from America.

    You never know what a person is facing. We can’t be quick to judge but I will still say suicide will never be a good course of action!! I know things get tiring but think about your time in hell

    Judas took his own life after he betrayed Jesus Christ—that is suicide.

    Taking a life is sin. Taking your own life is also sin. You can not repent after you done take your own life.

    I hope that the authorities can get down to the bottom of this. The young lady was only in her 20s. If it true and ruled a suicide, I hope her troubled soul will find peace.

    Sending prayers and strength to the family. Losing someone like this is incredibly painful, and they’ll need all the love and support they can get.

    This is a very sad situation I’ve felt that way before, but thank God I didn’t. The girl I was dating left me suddenly with no closure, only to find out she was living a lie and screwing another man all along, she took advantage of all my love care and effort. this ungrateful lying h*e, I felt that to the core, but no matter what we go through, no matter how hard, don’t t take your own life its selfish, think about who you’re leaving behind.

      Not everyone handle problems the same way! Some people break in ways you can’t even imagine! I lost my mother at a young age. I was molested by the man she trusted me with! I was treated as slave by a family known to the man. If my attempt had work then I would’ve been forever 15! But God had better plans for me I guess.
