Re: “Cheryl Hanna's Suicide Confirms Mental Health Problems in Vermont”
What irks me is how the media, particularly the Burlington Free Press, leaped into action to lionize this woman who offed herself and-almost certainly-traumatized her two grade-school children for life.
She's been called "a great community leader" and a "shining light" and (probably, for all I know) "a magic unicorn, bathed in the very light of creation." Feh. She killed herself and obviously didn't give a second thought for how this will affect the lives of her minor children. She could have continued treatment at Fletcher-Allen, but decided to abandon this course of action, preferring the ultimate act of selfishness.
Bury her and forget her. As quickly as possible. And hope her children can do the same. But that won't happen.

Countdown until Jess Martin's post is banished to /dev/null; 10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ...
Like my last one was.
