I am always prone to morbid thoughts but this is a dark endless loop. Don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything! I am just preoccupied with the question of Why, now that I’ve satisfied the compulsion to know How.<\/p>\n

I know next to nothing about L’Wren Scott but I admired her as a designer and knew that she moved in a rarefied social circle.

If someone you know exhibits warning signs of suicide<\/a>: do not leave the person alone; remove any firearms, alcohol, drugs or sharp objects that could be used in a suicide attempt; and call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) or take the person to an emergency room or seek help from a medical or mental health professional.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
