Dusty, everyone's personal experiences aside - this is my stand. Somewhat final, painless and easy. A permanent way out of a temporary situation. A coward's way out.

I take great issue with this . My mother was no coward, she'd suffered from depression from soon after she married my father and realised what a vicious human being he was.... and she had no way out, she couldnt leave , and she had become a breeding mare for him .. eventually she was so depressed she was on medication which either had her comatosed or in a stupor.. she was incapable of thinking a clear thought other than enduring horrible mental anguish day in day out....


A second family member my daughters' half brother hung himself in his early 20's just a few years ago.... after seeing no way out of an addictive situation..... that no-one realised he had...

All I have to say is I hope that Pamela Bach rests in peace. And the woman in the photo to the right is not Pamela Bach, she's Pamela Anderson, who starred with David Hasselhoff on Baywatch. She's made the decision to stop wearing cosmetics.

Excerpts from article:
Pamela Bach was still allegedly suffering from the injuries she obtained from a 2003 motorcycle accident with her ex-husband, David Hasselhoff.

The late actress’ friend addressed Bach’s devastating suicide, shedding light on the agonizing pain she was “plagued” with from the crash until her death on Wednesday, March 5.

"Bach went to “the hospital with a broken neck and back,” he said, adding she spent “months in intensive care with crushed bones.”

That's right. But the damage increased the pain to a devastating point over the years.

I know that story pretty well. At my advanced age, the physical damage from my own past is quite more painful than it ever was.

The problem most have with suicide is because of their religious beliefs. Because of these beliefs they will be forced to live through the horrid pain of terminal cancer and other dreadful life ending diseases. Some of us are more concerned with the quality of our existence than the rules of a religion.
 
Don't know how bad her drug or alcohol use got over the decades but Hasselhoff was an alkie which didn't help things. I think I read she even claimed domestic abuse a couple of times.

Throw in the side effects of that accident it's a physical reminder and a mental reminder of her ex husband. I think a lot of her issues snowballed into bigger ones since the divorce/accident era.

I can think of a number of reasons the wife of a celebrity would go into despair over unfixable aging and commit suicide when husband is in a business where much younger, fresh females are everywhere.........competition??

Excerpt from article:
"While he's certainly basked in the glow of fame, popularity, and nostalgia, Hasselhoff has also battled many personal and private demons over the years — most notably, his issues with alcoholism. Dealing with his addiction nearly cost him his career and his family. Although through it all, Hasselhoff has managed to get back on his feet, dust himself off, and keep pushing through."

I read an article some years back regarding his daughter taking photos of him crawling across a floor while dreadfully drunk. She hoped the pictures would show him the shameful thing alcohol had done to him.

I remember seeing those pictures as well. for some years the Hoff appeared on our Chat show circuit.... the best I can say is that he seemed to be missing a few grey cells
 
I've already posted this, several months back, but I feel compelled to do so again in the face of some of the comments that have been made.

I won't make a habit of posting it; actually, I likely will avoid any suicide-related threads going forward because it's just too painful.

I remember that. How painful and humbling that must have been for him. If I recall correctly that did indeed prompt him into sobriety. I may be wrong.

Good Lawdy! It gets MUCH worse.

It seems that very, very few of us can handle fame. It seems a destructive element to any sense of normalcy.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowb...selhoff-life-unholy-mess-CAROLINE-GRAHAM.html

Excerpt from article:
'Her house was an unholy mess and so was she. It was sad to see how far she had fallen.

'She was drinking neat vodka at 11am. There were pills. She was smoking marijuana all day long.

'She'd had bad times with drugs and alcohol before but had always managed to pull through.'

I found more info about the article mentioned.

Hoff his head: Baywatch star's drunken rant videotaped by daughter

Hoff his head: Baywatch star's drunken rant videotaped by daughter​


An excerpt:
In his heyday as star of Baywatch and Knight Rider, he was the all-American hero.
But in his latest film performance, David Hasselhoff appears as a slobbering drunk trying unsuccessfully to eat a burger off the floor.

And the bad news is, he wasn't acting. The footage is part of a home video shot by his 16-year-old daughter Taylor Ann, desperate to show the effects of drinking on her alcoholic father.

My original motivation for studying in lieu of retirement was because issues about suicide. During my studies I learnt about vicarious trauma and self care, I don't work in suicide prevention or postvention but I have done some further specific training courses.
This post is to ask you all to try to rethink the language that you use. Instead of saying committed suicide try to say took their own life, killed themselves, died at their own hand. There's no way to sugar coat suicidality but we can try to reduce the stigma of suicide.
