I am suddenly reminded of something that happened to a friend of a friend, in college - went to their summer cottage and found that their mother and her new boyfriend had murder-suicided themselves MONTHS before... in the bathtub... all that remained was something like soup with bones in it. And she found it! Last heard she was out of therapy... I also know someone whose brother committed suicide alone and wasn't found for days, also found thanks to the smell; this one was in a car, in a garage, the car was totalled by the mess. Poor you, SharonA. Anybody thinking of same, PLEASE leave a note. Not that you care about those surviving you in all likelihood, but still.
