Oh, no, no, no. This is awful! Unbearable. The mental trauma Whitney must have suffered to choose to end her life in such a brutal way. I'm absolutely heartbroken for her. She was clearly loved by family and friends alike, so I cannot fathom their grief, or the trauma her brother will have suffered upon finding her.

This is one of those stories that should transcend a crummy little cult, but it's Scientology and the ramifications of its tenets and practises on its members cannot be discounted. Add to that the speed with which her church would have turned its back on her upon learning of her suicidal thoughts and her despair can only have been magnified.

I'm so very sorry, Whitney.

Yet another horrific story. Who knows how much relief could have been obtained if Whitney Mills pursued real medical assistance. One thing I know from reading this, is that Ms Mills was probably being pushed to the sidelines as far as its church members relationships with Whitney.

The church of scientology is not a group one wants to belong to if what you need is tender loving care, succor and medical assistance. You will only get this from real friends and family, not ones where the church of scientology comes first.
