I have hearing a lot about suicide a lot lately. I am not sure if it is COVID or something else but I have personally known people that have either committed suicide or know of someone who has.
Even a lot of celebrities are committing suicide. I stay away from the news to keep myself sane. Especially since seeing the effect of watching the COVID deaths on CNN nonstop at the start of the pandemic, I decided to stay away.
But this suicide thing seems to be all around me. Not everyone discloses when it is suicide. Since there is a lot of guilt and shame around it in my culture, you often hear something like - the person died suddenly. But lately, the age of the people dying is getting younger and more troubling.
I don't know what the solution is but this trend is troubling.

We do not choose how, when and where we enter this world, why choose when to leave it? I think it's just wrong.
