I had a friend who drove to the spot in the road where his son shot himself 6 years before, and painted the headliner of his truck. Leaving a wife, and family to ponder the why. They had a memorial, I wasn’t invited, but wouldn’t have gone if I were.

She was destroyed, sold all they had and moved to Texas to be with her Daughter. My youngest daughter helped her through it all.

Selfish + vindictive. That is all I could think of.

I haven’t walked in her shoes so who am I to judge? I feel sorry for her daughter and I hope she doesn’t follow her Mother’s path.

That is why this story doesn’t smell right. If her daughter was her world, she would not have taken her own life and leave her daughter in that position.

Something is very amiss with this story.

My background on her shows her as an Arizona National Guard member, NOT ‘US Army’.

Horrible way to treat a daughter several days after her birthday:

“Michelle Young decided to take her own life by committing suicide days after her daughter’s 12th birthday.

Young had posted a heartfelt post with a picture perfect moment on her daughter, Gracie’s birthday days before taking the shocking step. In her post, Young captioned, “Happy birthday to the sweetest girl I’ve ever known,” adding “She’s a force to be reckoned with, she’s witty, ambitious, kind, compassionate, intelligent, hardworking, hilarious, and selfless,” describing Gracie.”

The whole thing stinks.

Nope. I would have never left my 12 year old daughter as an orphan.

I had a store manager that was taking a drug to stop smoking. He had to stop because he told me that he was having serious suicidal thoughts, which he never had before. Let’s call the store manager “Bob.” Bob told me that when taking that drug, he started having vivid dreams. The dreams were so vivid that he did not feel like he was getting rest. Then as he took more medicine, his brain was telling him that the easiest way to stop smoking was to kill himself- it would solve everything. At about the third day of having suicidal thoughts, he decided that he wasn’t going crazy- it had to be the drugs. He stopped taking the drugs and within 36 hours he was back to normal. Bob told me that the suicidal thoughts were seductive. So if a doctor approved medicine could make a normal guy suicidal, imagine what a brain chemical imbalance could do to a person.

Sadly, maybe not anymore after her mother offed herself.

The importance of sleep, is underated and barely mentioned by doctors re the nomadic SARS-2-CoV.

I wish someone would have introduced her to Jesus. Pray for the daughter.
