Drew Brees mother commits suicide

[Mr. Scot]

Awful news

PFT: Drew Brees mother's death ruled a suicide

Per a prior story, Brees and his mother were 'estranged' from each other.

sad, sure...but not sure why it needs to be news...people kill themselves every day and we don't hear about them!

[Mr. Scot]

Because he's famous :sosp:

I hear ya...but I just think the media get's way tooooo involved all the time.

That sucks

There was a lot of strange stuff (not too many people have to sue their own mother), and I really don't want to know about it, honestly. Leave the dead to rest and the living to mourn them.

[Panther]

That's terrible. Hope Brees is ok.

That's pretty horrible, no matter how bad your relationship with your mother (or maybe all the worse for it).

I've had a couple friends and family members take their own lives, and even more who have come very, very close. It's a very tough thing for a person to deal with.

Why are the people in the comment section on PFT.so Angry??

Hate to see it. Makes me think of Dungy's kid when they were undefeated a few years ago.

It's actually much more psychologically damaging when you are estranged or otherwise in conflict with the person who dies. People who have a good relationship with the person who passed are able to move on much more quickly. Probably because they don't feel any residual guilt, or a lack of resolution.

I like Brees and I wish the best for him.

Awful.

I really like Drew Brees as a person.
