“Never suffer in silence”

Following the news, Passante took to social media to share an emotional message – and a reminder for anyone who may be struggling

“I would like to say to everyone, if you are struggling, if you feel hopeless or like no one cares,” she wrote. “I assure you they do!! You are not alone. Please reach out for help.”

She continued: “You are not taking your pain away, you are transferring it to someone else. The grief from suicide is endless.”

Passante also pointed people toward available support, adding: “There is always help… You can dial 988 on your phone to connect with a counsellor and resources. Never suffer in silence!”

Alongside her message, she shared several photos of herself with Sheets. In one, the two pose side-by-side as he smiles and points toward her.

  A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years.
