I meant to say closure that they found her body but you are correct, families never get over a death of a love one.

If it was suicide, they’re not going to be able to move on. The unfortunate thing is that her family will be questioning everything for years to come. Even when you begin to make peace with it, it will still haunt you. Especially at her age.

I happy that you're glad "it's finally over". Maybe now you can sleep better at night.

It will never be over for the parents of this little girl. They will never move on and sleep better at night.

I cant imagine losing a child.....I have friends that have and not a day goes by that they dont think about their child and I when I'm reminded I still get choked up.

The tough time you speak of is for the rest of their lives....

Think before you speak

A close childhood friend of mine committed suicide when he was almost 21 and you are 100% correct - experiencing the suicide death of a loved one is so much different and more painful on an inexplicable level than that of a loved one who died of natural causes or even some sort of accident. 15 years later and it still hurts to wonder what if. What if I had called him one more time just to say hello? Did I not say enough or did I say something wrong? Was it me at all or was it someone or something else? Most importantly -- WHY THE frick DID OUR FRIENDSHIP NOT MATTER ENOUGH TO STAY ALIVE FOR?!

Suicide of a loved one hurts deeper than the natural causes death of a loved one and it's so much of a different pain that I really just can't put words to it.

I pray God is with her parents, family, and friends for the rest of their lives as they think about her and ask "why" or "what if" for the rest of their lives.

Damn it, man, this hits hard. My dad committed suicide when I was young, and I still wonder these things sometimes. Was his life really so bad that his kids weren't enough to stay alive for?

But I can't even imagine losing a child to suicide.

To anyone who may be reading this and contemplating suicide, let my post and cowboyfan's post be proof to you that those around you DO love you, whether it feels like it or not and they WILL be deeply hurt forever if you choose to take yourself out. Suicide deaths are totally different experiences for your loved ones and so different that it's hard to explain but it's a bad different. Here I am, a grown man with a family of my own and problems of my own that I struggle with each and every day but 15 years later I still think of my friend every single day and wonder why and what if. I'm actually tearing up typing this right now and that just goes to show you how different a suicide death is for the surviving loved ones. Don't fricking do it!

Not often I am upset this much about something like this. Prayers for the family and I am glad they can try to heal now. Please, if any of you ever feel like it has to end, please reach out to someone.

Same for me too. This case hit me harder than most do because it just seems so senseless. If she could have only seen herself in the future she would have known that whatever was troubling her was meaningless in the long run.

They should have been questioning things before, if in fact it was a suicide. Suicide is fairly easy to tell if you actually know the person.

And since they are her family, they should have known

I’m pretty jealous of your complete ignorance, hopefully you never have to realize how wrong you are

People bottle shite up all the time. Throw in a fake pandemic and the family might not have had as much time with her to diagnose that she was having issues

True words. There's someone that needs you, whether or not you believe it.

Just like TD, I still think about it every day, 19 years later. I've lived longer on this planet without my dad than I did with him. My kids will never know him.

I’m tempted to tell you to go frick yourself but you’re so ignorant you wouldn’t know where to start so I’ll just say that you are 100% wrong. You’re more wrong than wrong here. You couldn’t be further from the truth.

That has got to be the stupidest statement I’ve ever seen. People suicidal hide it the most from the people closest to them, they bottle all there feelings and emotions up and dwell on it until something finally cracks the glass and they no longer see a way out
