[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Everyone knows how someone died if people don’t say how they died. [/b]How can people be so clueless as to ask?

On the flip side, when I mention my mom’s death, I always say “from cancer” so then they don’t have to follow up. [/quote]

No, they don’t. My friend died under unusual circumstances but it was not suicide. That doesn’t mean I want to discuss the details like it’s gossip w people who hardly knew her.[/quote]

Okay, you have some random exception. But yeah 99% of the time, if people are mum, its suicide. [/quote]

No, it's usually either suicide or drug overdose.  Although I don't understand why people are so afraid of mentioning either one.  It doesn't help destigmatize anything.[/quote]

You don’t understand why people don’t want to discuss painful, personal experiences with someone who makes incorrect assumptions? Why should grieving people be tasked with assuaging the curiosity of random, socially challenged people? [/quote]
