I wonder if such a headline is meant to be comforting.
Few people know how high our suicide rate really is.
We see many homicides reported in the papers every day. But few people realize that for every homicide killing described in the paper, there are two or more suicide killings they don't hear about. Well-meaning family physicians have been known to help spare families the stigma of suicide by attributing cause of death to an accidental or other cause. Almost every suicide brings extended suffering to the lives of so many more individuals and families who have lost a parent, child, spouse, sibling, lover, co-worker, or friend.
