Is Suicide Always Wrong?
This is intended as a rant against all those who unconditionally oppose suicide.
Frank Stack, 82, died after he shot himself, while Joan Stack, 82, Mary Stack, 57, and Francis Stack, 49, had all been murdered, according to the initial findings from the DuPage County Coroner's office. All had been shot in the head.
The coroner's office did not say whether Frank Stack had shot his wife, Mary, and Francis. The DuPage County court records, said the adult children of Frank and Joan suffered from severe mental disabilities and were in residential care programs.
Only those who have raised retarded or severely mentally disabled children have the right to weigh in on this one in my humble opinion. The burden of raising healthy and capable children is challenging enough these days and my hat is off to any couple who can preserve their sanity while raising retarded progeny!
I have so much sympathy and compassion for Frank Stack and his wife for lasting as long as they did and doing what they could do to raise their disadvantaged family and I emphatically and vociferously stand against anybody who just states that suicide is wrong under all circumstances without considering the specific facts.
Rest in Peace Stack family. You deserve it. Raising a mentally handicapped family is depressing and sometimes agonizing. Thanks to all who take on that challenge.
