I've also read that if a family member has talked of suicide a lot or has taken their own life, younger, more impressionable members, while still devastated by it, have come to look at it as more exceptable when & if they become very depressed.
I believe that it was frequent talk of suicide by my ex- that made it seem acceptable to two of my own sons when they became very depressed. Both have revised their views since, as they've matured & came to view their father from an adult perspective. One told me that it's never a solution to how one feels if it can affect others so profoundly & so longlasting.
