Nicole, I wish I could say I don't know what you're talking about. I'm sorry to hear this story but glad to hear how you've dealt with it. I suspect suicide is more often a desparate act of rage against someone else than a genuine desire to die. The suicides that have touched my life have been of the same nature, only more gruesome.

As you point out, this had been in the works for a long time and there was probably no way to have seen the level of his desperation it time to change the course of events.

Be good to yourself and let it go as soon as you can.
