T1 had a nephew commit suicide. He was not seeing the nephew as a T, obviously, but he had referred the nephew to professionals he knew for help and was setting it up for nephew to go to Mayo Clinic (big state of the art diagnostic/treatment place in the US that clients go to from all over). It pretty much wrecked him. I learned of the suicide from someone else and it came up in session several times as I was leaning in that direction myself.

Pdoc shared about a patient's suicide in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that we both attended. He cried. That fact helped keep me alive. It kind of ruined the "nobody will care if I am gone" thought for me.
