There is a strong push against the language you’re using because “commit” is largely used with regard to crime.

The German word for suicide is Selbstmord, "self-murder". It's being used less and less nowadays for the same reason, as murder implies malicious intent. People opt for the neutral term Suizid instead.
Which is great except we still use the German word for "commit" with it when talking about it. I didn't realize that until reading your comment. So we only did half the thing we were intending to do and I never noticed. 😅

It’s a poor choice? How do you have no empathy for people who struggled so bad? I stick with the word died by suicide sue me

In any Mental Health first aid course - people are taught not to say "commit" because you "commit" crimes. People die by suicide because it is rarely ever a random event, and more of the result of a sickness that can be traced back through their life.

Props to you - that's reflection that most people won't do. 👍🏻

Too many people these days have stopped learning at some point and started insisting they know better.
Often these people are not helping improve life for others.
