As I remember, she committed suicide about 6 weeks after his death. Mi amigo/my friend did, but all she told him was that her husband had died and she was dealing with the estate. I didn’t, but I had not talked with her at all about it.
No one that I’m aware of expected her to commit suicide. She didn’t want to live anymore without him. I knew a woman - an acquaintance of mine - a few years back who committed suicide after her husband died of cancer. In Tommy’s case his depression seems to have been permanent and not temporary since he suffered with depression much of his life. I’ve worked in suicide prevention and we were trained that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Terribly sad to read that, and I’m sure his death has destroyed their family, and it will never be the same. Please look after each other, the animals, and the global poor for me. He left a suicide/farewell note which said, “Please forgive me. Tommy, his son, was described by his parents as a guy whose “irrepressible love of freedom and strong libertarian impulses made him a skeptic of all institutional bureaucracy and a daring outspoken defender of all outcasts and kids in trouble.” He was also an avid vegan, animal lover and writer. Did he do that because he believed Queers should have the same rights as breeders, or did he have a Queer member of his family, or both? He fought for gay marriage as a member of the House. Representative Raskin of Montgomery County - and a former constitutional law professor - has a rather progressive record in the House of Representatives. Law school can be intimidating and stressful and confusing, especially in the first year, and Tommy just had a way of warming up whatever room he was in,” Fairbank said.Was that the reason, or part of the reason for him committing suicide on 31 December 2020? His father is Representative Jamie Raskin (from the US state of Maryland) in the House of Representatives of the US Congress in the District of Columbia. Jamie added “It’s obvious that there are lots and lots of hearts that were broken in section two at Harvard Law School - he made wonderful friends there and these people will be a part of our extended family for the rest of our lives,” he was a member of the Harvard animal law society. Tommy Raskin was very active in animal causes. “a perfect heart, a perfect soul, a riotously courageous and relentless sense of humor, and a dazzling radiant mind.”
Jamie and Sarah Raskin wrote a beautiful letter for their son. ‘ Both his parents were law graduates and both of them are Harvard alumni. “College is a time when people do think about moral philosophy and morality, and that’s wonderful,” “But oftentimes these reflections and deliberations stay academic - Tommy always wanted to make sure he was translating the beliefs he arrived at into practice.” Tommy’s father understood his son was not just an ordinary man but a man of beliefs and putting that belief into work. His family and Demby had the same idea about Tommy. He was battling with depression for a long time. Tommy Raskin was a 25 and second-year student of the Harvard school. Demby said, “impressed and taken aback by how authentic he was as a person.” Cause of death of Tommy Raskin. he lived for it and worked for it.Īnti-poverty organization Oxfam was collecting for the poor and Tommy donated for each of his students. He was not an armchair activist who just spoke about doing good, his life was curated around the idea of people’s welfare. During a discussion in the famed Harvard course ” justice”, he said a simple yet profound statement “Shouldn’t we all be doing as much as we can to help those less fortunate than us?”
