I think grief has a lot to do with it. My dad died about 20 years ago (when I was fairly young), and I've lost two brothers at young ages to heart attacks (2nd one late last year). I think a lot is about them dying and losing people who share memories and a childhood with you. It's almost like they disappeared and were never here to begin with. Then I question, why I'm here and they aren't. I've always been the depressed and suicidal one and they weren't.
