A distant family friend killed himself a week ago and yesterday a memorial service was held. No one expected suicide. It was a complete surprise. The father was devastated to say the least. The older sister who was very close was completely shattered because he never indicated he felt so depressed. The family's misery was palpable. As much as i would like to leave i could not do that to my Mother who still lives. Nor could i do that to the few who say they care. All i can say is hold on....rest...but do not let go.
