I think if we truly captured in our hearts the essence of the commandment, “LOVE ONE ANOTHER” there would be less hurting people.

As somoneone who has considered transitioning to a greater place, I am greatful for relationships and the ARTS(music, literature, and even beautiful fashion) that gave me a sense of tangible evidence life in this realm is BEAUTIFUL!

To my religious sisters, I pray in your deepest hour of despair you will feel the embrace of DIVINE LOVE. And in turn, be able to give to others in their time of need.
Love is a beautiful thang!

Anyways, one can never know why someone would choose such a permanent solution, but I do sympathize for the man. His mom had just passed.

Now, I know that most don’t actually go thru with it, but I’ve heard people say that they do think of taking their own lives when their mom dies. Haven’t been through it personally,thank God, but I can only imagine the kind of heart-breaking grief that accompanies that particular loss.

You just can never tell what someone is going through in their own head…

RIP, Lee McQueen.

I’ll repeat what I said on another site: Nobody ever really truly knows what’s going on in somebody else’s head or life, which is why we all need to work harder to be more compassionate in our daily lives and to consciously reduce any feelings of envy, jealousy or unfounded judgment we may have towards others. What may look like perfection on the outside may be complete chaos on the inside.

Also, remember his mother died only a week or so before. My prayers go out to the McQueen family. I can’t imagine how tough this must be for them.

I get it. You feel some kinda way about people who commit suicide, it clashes with your religious beliefs. Please don’t come here using several fake names, leaving essentially the same comment, to make your point.

Of course the tragedy in Haiti outweighs one man’s suicide. But you’re comparing apples and oranges in the attempt to make your religion-based point. Alexander McQueen’s legacy in the design world can’t be understated. Regardless of what you think.

It is amazing how callous some people are! If he had gotten help for his issues earlier, yes everyone would have been better off, but it is what it is. It is sad that he is dead. The arts are here for a reason; visually stimulating things can bring a little bit of joy in our lives – we should take in all that is offered to us! I will miss his show during the fashion weeks.

RIP, Alexander McQueen!
