SUICIDE: Thanks for column, Sholeh

First, my deepest sympathy goes out to Sholeh Patrick and her family for the suicide death of Jay. Then, thanks, Sholeh, for the courage to write such a poignant and insightful column on the subject of mental illness. For those with family members coping with mental illness, all you said rang true. Compassion and understanding are paramount, especially during times of crisis and loss.
