Suicide

The headlines today are brutal for this broken hearted mom
A famous actor took his own life after a long struggle with mental illness
another actor's daughter also ended her own life
the question in my mind is not why, but what can we do?
Death happens but suicide is rampant and the things we have in place
are not working enough.  The sad part is, I heard about the people in the spotlight,
but there are so many more regular people that also made the same choice!
How can we fight this?????????
