Michael Blosil, i really don’t understand why people suicide, in my humble opinion it is not a wise choice and decision, if you kill yourself that means you run away from responsible and in the next life, are you sure it will be better?
But that’s my own opinion, you can agree or not, that’s your choice. The same thing happened to the adopted son of Marie Osmond, Michael Blosil, 18 year old boy who decided to end his precious life by jumping to his death from his apartment building in Los Angeles, California. From the news that I got, the reason of his suicide is because of depression
Marie Osmond
Michael Blosil had been struggled with severe depression and he finally decided that he couldn’t fight anymore and he thought he had no friends and could not get along with this world
Michael Blosil is reported to left a suicide note which explains as to why he suicide, after dealing with a lifelong battle with depression and feeling as if he had no friends and could not fit in to this world (Source: http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/michael-blosil-marie-osmonds-son-commits-suicide-jumping-2583962.html)
I feel sorry for him and his mother Marie Osmond and the entire family

Michael Blosil Killed Himself Because Of Depression
thanks for the headline. i didn’t know why people kill theirselves
You’re right- you dont understand- but trust me, as a psych nurse, depression is a serious and sad illness. People in this state dont think like you and me. Learn something about clinical depression before you make a stupid, uneducated comment like that.
To Marie Osborne and her family, I can only offer my prayers. Nothing else will be of any good to you. And, nothing will bring him back to your arms. This is so tragic. But you and especially his siblings must go on with their lives. This was his decision. Let it stand that way. And always support each other. My prayers and thought are with you. I just hope it helps!

You’re right – it’s NOT a WISE choice to commit suicide….but there again, a person who is thinking of suicide is not thinking rationally. They get ‘tunnel vision’ and once a decision has been made, it somehow gives them a false sense of peace – as if they have finalised a decision on how to handle things. Depression is a mental illness that doesnt need condemnation – it needs understanding. Dont judge someone just because you dont understand – try learning about depression first and then ‘cast the first stone’ when you truly know what is going on in the mind of someone so depressed that they are willing to give up everything – usually because they feel there is nothing left for them here!
sorry John – posted my mail in the wrong bit!
People who do not understand the pain & effects of depression have apparently not experienced it themselves.
I realize that your comments are simply a result of ignorance. If you had ever suffered from depression (and be VERY thankful that you have not), you would not be so judgmental. It is a recognized mental illness, and aside from the common feelings of worthlessness, it can also be severe mental and/or physical pain, exhaustion, and be accompanied by other disorders, such as OCD. Even with professional help and medications, there is no guarantee of relief. Religious beliefs are able to help give some depressives comfort, but it’s hard to keep your faith when your own mind has turned against you, and your friends and family don’t want you around because you are bringing them down. People with depression need your love, help, and understanding, not your condemnation.
God bless you for understanding and for your post.
Thank you
it’s a mental state exceedingly difficult to describe that you have resort to metaphors convey the feeling. albeit still ineffectively.
it’s an undescribably deep, dark and isolated feeling of despare, loneliness, hopelessness in the face all of the love from friends and family that surrounds you. yet, you feel that none of them could reach you, or you feel couldn’t reach them – so close and yet so exceedingly far. it’s like the “devil” plays a wicked and carefully crafted mind-f$&@ number on you, and you battle it on your own.
Obviously when you are depressed to the extent you are suicidal, your brain is not functioning at a rational level, to make the right choices and decisions. So for others to judge differently is a mute point. Add depression with impulsiveness and it increases the chances of it being successful..So sad and so much more common than known.
Prayers of comfort and healing go out to the Osmond Family. I’m so sorry for your loss. The death of a child is the ultimate sacrifice. Rest in peace, Michael.
Please don’t judge those with depression, when you have been to the deep pit of despair and you believe that suicide is the only option only then may you understand or if you have a family member who has commited suicide. Sometimes life can be so overwhelming when you are depressed, you have no hope or believe there is no future for you. My deepest sympathies go out to this family.
I tried to kill myself. I was under a doctor’s care for depression. I told my shrink I was suicidal and he said he would overnight an additional drug to me. It made me worse. I thought I was doing the world a favor. I couldn’t call it a decision. If I had gotten real care it wouldn’t even have happened. I believe that when you are that depressed you are not yourself. In fact I realized later that had I succeeded, I would have been killing a stranger not the true me. The chemically imbalance makes you someone else entirely. Depression came to me late in life following a horrific fire on my Navy ship. I lost my health that day. I have been on a medication and I am have been depression free for 10 years. People who make blanket statements without compassion are just uninformed. I hope this will help you better understand the processes of depression. Because of my incident in the Navy I was on large doses of several medications that actually caused the depression. Morphine and Ativan where two of them. Suicide was definitely not a decision I would have made before the drugs. Some people are lucky to be so well that they don’t have a clue what is going on with depression. I wish I didn’t have to know about it either.
Dear Marie,
mere words cannot express our sorrow for your loss. My only son also
passed away from the effects of mental illness. Perhaps now your son
can know and understand how much he is loved and missed. It takes
time to deal with such a loss. No one understands who has not gone
through this.
Love and blessings,
rae a reed
He killed himself because of your insidious blog!
That’s almost as stupid a comment to make as the person who made the blog!!
the guy who made the comment is ignorant of the facts – being ignorant doesnt make someone a murderer – your comment is way OTT!
People who aren’t exposed to clinical depression or any other mental illness would not understand. I was ignorant about it until it hit my family.
Depression is a mental illness. It is an illness like any other illness of the body. What the person suffering from it experiences is completely incomprehensible to those of us who don’t have the disease. What is rational or simple to us is not to them. We would say, “If you’re depressed and lonely, call your family or friends or go out.” It is not as simple as this. The word depressed is not just a mood for them. It is a clinical condition. Hope this helps.
The Bible says, Woe onto the man who taketh is life for he wish he had never been born. Depression or no Depression no matter what I am going to reach out to the almighty God with all my inner sole. This is the Devil way of telling every one that your depression is an incurable illness and the only way out is to kill your self. I will prey for the Osmand family and ask God to give them strength to deal with their loss.
What nonsense are you spurting? Next time reach for the dictionary instead…
Blameless – spurting “your interpretation” of biblical quotes isnt really doing anyone any good at this time! If you are going to quote the bible – “judge not that ye be not judged” would be far more appropriate for you!
Why don’t you pray to learn to spell words correctly, such as soul instead of sole (like a shoe) or pray instead of prey (like being preyed upon).
Your judgmental observation is harsh, uncaring, and uncalled for. Your comments reveal your ignorance.
The comments here are excellent, reflecting insight and concern. This contrasts with original article, however.
What a loser
Takes one to know one – so they say!
You must be so compatible to have such a deep understanding of Michael!
I, too, never understood how someone could take his or her own life — until I experienced real depression myself. Depression is not just a case of “the blues” — it disrupts your concentration and can make you physically immobile, and makes everything seem dark, pointless and even evil. When you get to that point and continue to wake up every day feeling the same dread, you start to think about a way out. If you want a glimpse of what the pit of despair is really like, read William Styron’s “Darkness Visible.”
PeoPLE who are sad really feel like no one REALLY CARES. Sad people think that Everyone is PRETENDING to care.
that is what hurts & feels lonely.
To all who feel this sad; please be ok…and write out a blog like this to have a feeling of connection. Create a get together nights for face time in your town or city with local sites like kijiji.com.
Having family memebers that are more colorful and active in this world instead of being humble like you doesn’t mean you are weird or alone. It’s ok to just have a DOG or CAT & MUSIC more than lots of humans.
Join a group, travel and relax. you are ok.
I TOTALLY AGREES WITH YOU!!
PS PS

find what & who is right for you
It’s worked for me…check him out on youtube or

@the blogger: my recommendation would be to stick with blogging about something you are an expert in rather than posting uneducated judgments and calling it blogging. Your opinion as posted is in fact, not humble, so if you meant to be humble you shouldn’t have posted it. You should consider yourself fortunate to never have known the deep despair that pushes some people to suicide attempts.
I agree 100%
“Some people are lucky to be so well that they don’t have a clue what is going on with depression.”
Ruth, you just summed up this whole debate better than anyone ever could. Most people just don’t understand, and never will. And they are so lucky. The message they should take from this is that they are LUCKIER then they will ever know. Suicide is like a black curse, some people are just doomed to suffer through this hurricane of fear, despair, and rage, and there is nothing that will ease that pain. The thing that bothers me most is that the lucky ones act like our suffering is a choice. Like if we just flicked a magic switch and saw things their way, everything would be alright for us. It’s maddening to have to deal with ignorance like that.
The only thing that will save any of us from ourselves is time and chance. And yet the paradox remains that both of those things are very seed of this suffering; when nothing is worth living for, it means that luck has gone from us so completely that there is no more hope, and then time becomes the cruelest thing of all. Existing in such overwhelming suffering with no hope is a living hell. That is why some make it, while others do not.
When you go through what depression is like personally then come back and see how far your stupid ignorant comments go.Of course when you’ve never suffered from it life seems beautiful,but experience the Black Dog and you would be eating your words.People who battle the illness are real brave as anything,those who have taken their lives are still as brave it rips your heart and sould out.
All I hope is that all those who have criticized people with depression any such mental illness go through the same pain.Then I want to see how they laugh and brave they’re Cowards enough said.
“Judge not – that YE be not judged!!!” God forbid that YOU ever find yourself in the same situation someday and others judge YOU the same way!
