Riley Keough on 'Zola,' Lady Gaga and the Death of her Brother Benjamin

[@kalevipoeg6916]

I hate that she's having to go through this all over again so soon after with her mother - losing your brother AND your mother in the span of 2 years is just too much for anyone. I truly hope she'll be ok through this, as painful as it is and is going to be.

It’s painful enough to lose someone you love, but I find it incomprehensible that mental health issues and suicide are often so stigmatized and shamed. Especially when people view it as a selfish act…they have no idea how long a person might have held on to their pain, held on simply to spare the people that love them from pain. That doesn’t sound selfish to me, it’s just incredibly sad that anyone has gone through life carrying so much pain that they feel like the only way to make it stop is to end their life.
