Sister Rose, as the mother of a suicide victim, I have learned that the language around suicide is changing.  Please consider using the much more empathetic "died by suicide" or "died of suicide", same as you would say "died of a heart attack" or "died of a drug overdose".   People "commit" crimes and that term came from a time when the church refused to bury suicide victims, blaming them for their own demise.  Indeed there were (and still are) laws on the books punishing people for attempted suicide.  If you are familiar with Canadian priest theologian Ron Rollheiser, he writes brilliantly on the subject of suicde and grief.  "Died by suicide" is so much more empathetic.  Thank you so much for considering this.  We will watch this seriest, as we want to do all we can to keep other families from enduring what we are going through.
