I certainly don't side with someone who has some talent, has the resources to help with her 'addictions/demons' but choses to snort it, inject, smoke and drink her life away. Why didn't respect herself: why should sympathy be expected now that the inevitable has happened? If it was not overdose but suicide: neither do I respect that. And before you ask: yes - I have experience of both affecting my life, so I'm in a position to put forth an educated and experinced point of view on those matters.

I have sympathy for any human being who wasn't an outwardly bad person who died before their time. It doesn't matter to me that she had it coming. I know she did. Most do. I still sympathise. That is simply where we differ. My heart bleeds for her as it does many of my own close relatives who have killed themselves with gear and booze.
They made their own bed but it doesn't stop me from grieving. That's as simpe as I can phrase my views on this.
I pity drug addicts. Absoloutely. They are lost souls and absoloutely deserve all our help for as long as they remain breathing.
