What a downer I can be... my sister's brother-in-law did himself in last Thursday. One of the funniest guys I had the pleasure of knowing. 43 yrs old, leaving behind 2 sons and a daughter, ages 13 -- 18. Ugh. I know we've discussed suicide here before and I don't even know why I'm posting. Funeral tomorrow, then my sister is having her husband's whole family over for an impromptu Thanksgiving on Thursday. I'm gonna grill a turkey for them and drop it off Thursday morning.
There is nothing to say, nothing to do. I imagine the loss the family feels with a suicide has to be incredibly different than any other.
The Holidays can do this to people-- if you're at all concerned about anyone, get them to talk if you can. Oh well. Easy for me to say. That's it for my public service announcement.
