Dunno where this fits exactly, here seems like a reasonable choice.
I saw on FB last night where an old HS schoolmate had died, details & comments were all vague in the first couple hours. Turned out, I later saw, that she was killed in a car accident.
But the point of this post is that I immediately thought "suicide?". I had mentally flagged her as a candidate for that, as she'd lost a boyfriend to a wreck a couple years back, then Covid wiped out her own business, then Covid wiped out the company she went to work for after that. Her social media posts alternated between vaguebooking about "things" and posting selfies.
It's just kinda sobering? depressing? something? to realize that you kind of have a list of acquaintances that you have labeled in your head as suicide risks :/
