To me those who are contemplating suicide do not take into consideration their loved ones. Most commit suicides where they know it will be family members or loved ones that will find them whether they grotesquely hang themselves or blow their heads off with a shotgun.
They never think through the terrible horror they will inflict on the ones that loved them for the rest of their lives. They simply are on their own mission and are determined to carry it out the way they have designed whether it hurts their loved ones or not.
Most do not leave suicide notes.
IMO
As a victim of suicide in the family, I have to respectfully disagree. Those who are commiting suicide in spite of someone are prone to doing it where that person would most likely find them. However, those who commit suicide based on other reasons in their lives are more ept to do it in private, ie their car, behind a building, in the woods.....regardless I do agree that they can't begin to comprehend the the pain it inflicts on the family. That being said, if RN did in fact commit suicide I def. think it was in spite of someone. (I also know a guy who commited suicide because his gf no longer wanted to be with him, so he hung himself on the back of the bedroom door where she would find him in horror...he planned it that way).
