She took the easy way out, she’s no hero.
The easy way out from what? She was a successful doctor. She, like many nurses, and nursing home workers, who did, could have quit, or gone on vacation.

She "snapped". Unless you've been under a similar stress, you have no idea. I have. I know exactly what it's like. Different persons react in different ways, but we each have that special sequence of events that "sets" us off. No one is anymore immune from a mental disorder than from a physical illness.
LMR, you’re basically making boz’s point for him. The point is she a “hero” or is she not? You basically said she “snapped” and that’s probably true. Typically, I don’t think of heroes as “snapping” and committing suicide.

It’s sad when someone commits suicide, but I understand when people say that’s the easy way out. Suicide is only thinking about yourself, and not thinking about all your loved ones, who are going to have go through a lot by you taking your life.
