So sad to hear. Most who commit suicide are depressed, have various forms of mental illness, and cannot logically see any other alternative. Hence, they take their own life. If they were truly in a good state of mental health, they would never commit suicide in the first place. Many types of depression and mental illness are not easy to see and can be masked by behaviors. So, I don't find it cowardly because they really don't have the mental capacity to make that determination. While us mentally stable folks may THINK that's why they commit suicide, those that do see it as the only alternative to their problems.
Again - so sad to hear. It might be beneficial for those close to seek some counseling of their own so they can properly deal with the situation. Dawn will go through the stages of grieving and it's a good idea for you to look those up so you can understand what she's going through. Those stages can be Googled. She'll really need some support to make it through this. I'm glad you were home as well.
If there is anything I can do, drop me a PM and I'll do my best.
