    that isn’t suicide. suicide is the active act of killing yourself.

    dying from neglect, or self-neglect isn’t suicide.

    though both, are ‘deaths of despair’. in the sense they are entirely preventable and due to a lack of emotional/social connections.

      My close person died in very young age. Cancer. That person knew that was something going on because of trumor, but tried to postpone doctors visits as long as possible. When was diagnosed, it was in last stage.
