Truly tragic. Christmas season is also the most popular time for layoffs and suicide. When I got laid off, I admit the thought crossed my mind - that I was worth more dead - but I shoved it out of my mind.

When I was a school board president, had a custodian hang himself in a school. I had chatted with him often, didn't sense anything wrong.

I am convinced (and so is my wife) that her brother comitted suicide in his car - made it look like an accident. He had called me the week before and didn't sound right, but I never realized.....

It most definitely is a mental illness.

The ex-wife can't deal with the pain - and her own guilt - it's easier to blame someone - anger is easier to handle than grief.
