Some people just want to be done with life, but there are no humane options. I hope for legislated change in this regard.

suffering from mental illness for over 30 years and had a history of visiting a psychiatrist. I feel for the women that she had to suffer this long. I hope she did get some help with medication/therapy but there is so much a person could take with such illness.

Police fail.
I hope they investigate and not just assume she killed herself.
