    Very shocking, unbelievable and sad news. She was one of the doctors who used to attend on our Shitzu. Heartfelt condolences to the family. We will miss her.

    Irrespective of religion including atheist, following is very important that the Soul departing Body after death needs to Choose Light and not darkness because God is Light. If one chooses darkness after death, due to fear of Light because of pride or shame or guilt... Then that soul faces eternal death or permanent darkness for eternity, unless some genuinely pray for God's mercy for that soul to find peace and Divine redemption.

    Daniel, It would have sufficed if you gave your condolences. Instead, you insult the departed by condemning their soul to eternal darkness. I am sure her parents and family would be happy to read your bs. Keep your religion and belief to yourself and preach when you are asked. No one asked for your sermon.

    RIP.... Don’t give up on a life that still has so many beautiful chapters left to be written....... Hearing about suicide is a painful reminder that many people are silently struggling. Let it teach us to speak up, support one another, and remember that asking for help is a sign of strength. Your life truly matters.....

    RIP. Killing oneself God hates it, as God is Life Himself and soul given to everyone is Eternal. Life does not end here on earth but after death also in heaven, in purgatory for more purification, worst cases in hell. Choose light of life instead of darkness (guilt, shame, depression, anxiety...) of death. Seek help from God or surrender one's problems to God and wait upon God. Patience, self control, courage from God! Mistakes happen in life, repent do charity and let go is the best solution for life's many problems!

    Indeed some one rightly said here that the joint family system should be brought in . Today every family want to run away from joint living and these has impact on many lives. Teach young kids to not to get attached to any thing and set their expectation low Mingle with near One's often. People net to get out of the loneliness phase think you have people around you who cares and are depended on you.

    Families have reduced conversation at home. Everyone is either out or busy with their gadgets. We have to bring back our joint family culture to get over all that is bad.
