Thanks for this post Laurie. Before I even logged into PC I saw this news. The media and television often gives us access into peoples lives. We get to see people doing what they do. TV shows about food or Movies etc give greater access to individual that we normally would not come into direct contact with.

Because of this contact more people grieve the loss of celebs because we "allow" them into out lives. I suppose that is the nature of Media. Therefore we are impacted by Anthony's suicide and so many others because of this connection. We all hide such torment inside celeb or not.

Suicide is such a sad and lonely thing. The ripple effect for every single act of suicide is horrid. I have known people in my own life who have done this. It's very hard to get one's head around the act and the ensuing grief.
