Drew Brees' mother has passed

wow. even in death, she finds a way to hurt those she loved. i don't mean to sound insensitive...but in my mind suicide is the ultimate selfish and cowardly act. i feel awful for drew and the whole family.

My mother suffered for many years with severe depression and anxiety attacks and eventually took her own life. She suffered terrible mental turmoil , lost weight and was very frightened all the time. It was heartbreaking to see her suffer and came as no suprise when she committed suicide.

I do not consider her selfish or cowardly. She had a mental illness and it eventually killed her.

I don't believe that everyone who kills themselves can be put into the same group.

An event like this takes a long time for the family to come to terms with. My heart goes out to Drew.
