Oh this really hurts. As someone with mental health issues, its really painful when someone who brought you joy, loses their fight. Its hard not to look at yourself and think if they can't make it, how can I. I know its a silly thought process but it is one I have :(
Whenever I get those thoughts I tell myself that I can always do it later, but I’m not doing it right now. It works better for me than getting myself worked up trying NOT to think those thoughts. Hugs to you, I know it’s hard to fight your own brain on everything 😭
I've never heard suicide (I assume) described this way. "The disease won and he surrendered his life". It's sad but also a beautiful way to word it to show how a mental illness sometimes can be analogous to a physical illness that you just can't beat, like cancer or something. I feel like it also takes blame off the person for 'committing' something or 'taking the cowardly way out' as some rhetoric is.

The Judds released a similar statement when Naomi passed. But yeah, it's still rare to see it put so kindly
