Leading Irish journalist's body recovered from Irish Sea

Very sad! My heartfelt sympathies to her husband & children. Suicide is very complex, along with depression and often difficult to get the right treatment. In my opinion people do not want to die, they just do not want to live with the helpless & hopeless feelings associated with depression. grief is complicated for family /friends when someone decides to end their own life. R. I P.

Unbelievable.As a society we have a lot to answer for.No sooner are our babies born but parents pile their own expectations upon them.We give kids no time instead of it all.Everywhere the pressure is kept up.Everywhere.It's not surprising people bow out.But do they have to make it so final.Half the fun in life has got to be knowing on your deathbed what the hell happened.She could have waited.

Horribly sad this event in the lives of the many of us she shared her words with but still chose to leave us as "the left behind". I need to watch that movie again - whatsit called? oh yeah, West Side Story. That song "I'm Depressed, I'm depressed" where the youngsters are influenced by social workers telling them that they already done for in the same world we all share? Better that everyone watches that movie "It's a Wonderful Life" for the real message to suicidal-tendant people. It only takes 2 more hours out of one's life to watch it.

tragic loss of a brilliant journalist...our prayers are with her family and friends.

The complexities of depression often go unnoticed by others. How unfortunate that therapy and support were either not utilized or ineffective.
