Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts on the movie UP. I tend to get sad easy and cry my eyes out so I am thinking it all over. :grouphug:

Me, too, Elainera:hug:.. I let myself get so very involved with their beautifully, captivating blog of their travels, that really and truly made Leanne so VERY ALIVE, and real..and while I understand that all the victims of the cases we follow are "real" as well, but for me, this was a completely different, unique, never before experienced type of "closeness" that just so naturally came about in my reading every page of their beautifully documented travels..I am still so sad.![]()
I've never seen it either, but I know I'm not ready to watch it right now. I keep looking at the 5K FB page and seeing that logo just hits me in the gut.
I'm a runner and I really wish I could go to the 5K, but it's way too far. I saw a few people are going to run in their own town at the same time, for solidarity. I'll do that instead, but still.
Suicide by hanging is a statement suicide. Its a suicide meant for others. Suicide by overdose and gunshot is usually an I just want to end it method not so with hanging.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~I am so shocked that they found her hanging. What a very sad ending but did LE confirm that she in fact died from hanging? I'm sorry I haven't read the entire thread but something just doesn't seem right about her death. My first husband killed himself by hanging so I kinda have some experience with suicide and suicide survivors. Hanging isn't usually the method that women choose for suicide.

I do not think that suicide by hanging is "a statement" anymore than any other manner of suicide. But, if one believes it is, what is the statement?

'Im sorry. I find this offensive. That anyone would presume to know what a person was thinking when they decided to end their life, or why they chose that way to end their life in that manner is ludicrous.
And that stat to me would be more applicable to the people/societies that used to do the hanging. People were hung in the town square to show the town their crime and make them an example.
I don't believe Leanne was making a statement. She was trying to end her life, for whatever reason and this was the way she chose to do it. I hope that she left a note for the ones she loved. I hope so. But the very fact that she went back into the brush and did it, Shows she was not doing it for a statement. It shows me she was still hiding.
That upset me a lot. Sorry.. It did.
ETA: Not your post, But the information. I hate stats like that.
We will never know. Even if she left a note. Heck her family will probably have questions for years and they know LB. Most of us are just strangers trying to understand. I personally appreciate the info/links to resources that might have insight. I may not agree personally but it helps me form an opinion based more on fact vs. emotions. JMOO
I think the possibility that they always seemed to do things together could have been a stifling thing. And in those situations it, I think I can say fairly, is always one of the parties who in effect insists upon the other's presence, for whatever reason. Dependency perhaps.
I have to tell you that my husband and I are best friends, we do everything together and it is never stifling for us. We commute together too and I have to tell you, when he works late or isnt with me on that commute I feel awful, I miss him. There are some couples who really do love each other to the point of just wanting to be together all the time. And instead of thinking she was stifled I am thinking she came down from a huge high and realized "real life" was happening and it may have flared up a depression that she couldn't escape. It sounds like her husband was okay with real life, but she may have felt this feeling of dread. MO
