A member of the US Army with a popular fitness and fashion account on Instagram has died by suicide, devastated friends shared on Saturday.
Staff Sgt. Michelle Young, 34, took her own life, leaving behind her 12-year-old daughter, whom friends described as “her whole world” in a heart-wrenching post on GoFundMe.
“Michelle was a beautiful soul, an amazing friend, a single mother, a soldier, and is proof you never know what someone is going through or what demons they may be fighting,” friend Sarah Maine wrote on the page.
“We will never fill the gaps in our hearts and will always be left with questions,” she added.
Young had served in the Army for 16 years, first enlisting when she was about 18 years old. During that time, she completed two tours in Afghanistan, the Daily Mail reported.
Just days before news of her death broke, Young had posted a birthday message on Instagram for her daughter, Gracie.

Prayers for her daughter.
“Prayers for her daughter.”
Yes. That poor little girl having to suffer and endure that at age 12 and the rest of her life. May God comfort her throughout her travails.
why is it that I think “B.S.” when I read this and other successful people killing themselves of late? Feels like a cover for the toxic vax.
This woman loved her little girl like no one else and decides to take her life? uh huh...
Her brother committed suicide when she was young.
There’s a family history/genetic component with depression.
She’s also tatted up with fake tits.
Vain woman hitting the wall.
I feel bad for her daughter.
Did she ever serve anywhere near combat?
Single mother as well. Probably spent her twenties being sexxed up, getting affirmed and not any longer in her thirties.
From the looks of things she sure did have some big ‘ol fake tiddies. My diagnosis is bat shit crazy.
so extremely sad for the Gracie.
I wonder if the mom ever had a talk with Jesus, or God? She clearly seemed “lost” based on some of her choices of attire to be photographed in. Not the greatest example for a daughter, let alone for herself.
Even the close up army one she looks like she cared more about her nails and makeup.
very sad the varied situations God allows, as He trys to woo us to Him and away from the worldly distractions that lead to destruction.
I’ve had my share too but chose to let myself be changed some by God, it is a continual, life long surrender.
Prayers will continue for Gracie, may God hold her and keep her, her whole life.
from Prologue – O Lost
Thomas Wolfe
…a stone, a leaf, an unfound door; of a stone, a leaf, a door. And of all the forgotten faces.
Naked and alone we came into exile. In her dark womb we did not know our mother’s face: from the prison of her flesh have we come into the unspeakable and incommunicable prison of the earth.
Which of us has known his brother? Which of us has looked into his father’s heart? Which of us has not remained forever prison-pent? Which of us is not forever a stranger and alone?
Waste of loss, in the hot mazes, lost, among bright stars on this most weary unbright cinder, lost! Remembering speechlessly we seek the great forgotten language, the lost lane-end into heaven, a stone, a leaf, an unfound door. Where? When?
O lost, and by the wind grieved, ghost, come back again.
Had a friend who lost two brothers to it & then did it himself and he knew how the other two impacted his mother.
I don’t like anyone with mental problems offing themselves, I’d rather they get help.
That said, given her internet presence, I have my ideas why she did it.
Disgusting to do that to her daughter. No respect.
“From the looks of things she sure did have some big ‘ol fake tiddies. “
You got something against fake tits? I don’t!
It hit me hard. I never sank into depression, but it was still hard to process. They think the sleep apnea is what got him because my doctor says when you stop breathing, your heart also stops beating.
Hearing of deaths like what happened to this member of the military hits me hard every time, especially when they have kids/spouses. I pray and hope her daughter finds the comfort and love she'll need going forward.
Yep.
Damn, that’s terrible.
Because you, like many others here who think they have all the answers, are totally ignorant on the devastating effects of depression and other mental illnesses......
“You got something against fake tits?”
They are very hard and it can be felt that they are not “normal.”
If you can feel them, they’re real. 😁
If you can feel them you’re lucky!
