this week.

5. Life is so complicated. Sometimes too complicated for some young people.
Being involved with someone in the public light doesn't help for them.

Hopefully, Marie and her kids are able to handle this loss.

6. How sad, I just saw her on tv yesterday.
Celebs are certainly not immune from the tragedies of life. No parent wants to outlive their children.

7. How sad
to see a young person with so much yet to do. I could not imagine losing a child that way.
Tragic just tragic.

9. Depression is a devastating
disease that unfortunately carries a stupid social stigma.

I wish Marie's family comfort and peace. Her son's suffering is over.

15. How horrible. Depression is an illness that MUST be addressed
on a much larger scale then is currently occurring. This illness literally destroys and ends lives.

18. Nothing but sympathy here.
I have lost contact with my 32 year old daughter, and am distraught. I can't think of how to fix this, but I am very worried. All the best to the Osmond family on this one. How very tragic.

19. That sucks. I don't care who the parent is, no parent should have to bury their own child
I hope to god even GW Bush, Dick Cheney, and even Karl Rove never have that experience. I don't care what you think - you can be a total asshole - but you should NEVER have to bury your kids. NEVER.

Fuckitall...that is sad.

26. Divorce only adds to the problem of depression in children
I'm sure Marie worked hard to keep her marriage together, but unfortunately the family was split apart. That is devastating to children.
