Yep, dealing with it here too. My wife's a teacher with only a dozen or 2 kids. She's got a brother-sister pair who's father shot his brother(kids uncle) then turned the shotgun on himself last week. He was the primary breadwinner and the mother is completely lost/catatonic at this point. Son doesn't understand(he's 4) and the sister is one step below the mother in terms of functioning.

This. No sadness when my grandfather died earlier this year. He was 90, a WWII vet and 30 years on the road for CASE tractors. He led a full life, if I can do the same then I'll be lucky.
