Language matters, especially in stressful times.
A very common phrase in the English language is “commit suicide.” Why might that be problematic? Because it’s judgmental – people commit crimes and suicide is a tragedy, not a criminal act.
Consider “died by suicide” or “killed themselves” instead of “committed suicide.” I hope you never have to deal with it up close and personally - meanwhile, please choose compassionate words.
