The thing about knowing the why behind a suicide is...it doesn't really change anything. The suicide victim is still dead, and most reasons given are usually considered unacceptable by grieving loved ones. "Why didn't he/she talk to someone? It wasn't that bad!!" And maybe the reason makes the loved ones feel worse, like maybe if they'd been more attentive, more loving, more insistent about the person talking to them, that person might not have...or some dark dirty secret comes out that puts the victim in a darker, uglier light and everyone else wishes they'd never known, wishes that secret had went in the grave with the suicide.
Oftentimes knowing the reason behind a suicide is no comfort. Sometimes it can make things worse.
