From bad to worse

[noadvertising]

When I read about the death of our neighbour I thought he might have died because of a heart attack. But the wife of the deceased has just been here with one of her sons and her sister, to bring us the death notice. Her husband has hung himself, and she has been the one who found him...None of the family knew about any personal problems. He just went into the garage, when his wife had went to bed. The family is in uproar. The father has been a total family guy, so no one knows about the reason why he killed himself. No farewell letter, nothing which explains the reason why he thought he better commit suicide...

Oh how very sad. His poor family. Covid seems to have had that affect on some people it seems.

A younger friend's husband killed himself earlier this year, and she basically gave me a lecture on not blaming the person when I said that I thought it was very selfish of him to not consider how it would devastate her and their 5 year old daughter — but I still think it is a selfish thing to do under almost all circumstances.
