    I work in addiction recovery and listen to people share about suicidal ideation, and lost friends/family to suicide. A lot of people that contemplate life take into consideration the world they are leaving behind. Not wanting to burden others, further hurting or shaming family, or honestly leaving a mess - leads people to hanging.

      I wonder if a black person would think that hanging themselves would lead to some confusion.
