But suicide -it leaves holes that never seem to heal completely.<br /><br />A close childhood friend, took his life 30 years ago; six years later, my cousin ended his life with a shotgun blast to his head. The surviving uncle in my family brooded for 4 years until his own passing about my cousin's death, constantly asking himself what he could have done to help his nephew, to prevent him from doing such a terrible thing. The guilt trip a suicide almost always puts on family members for years and years after the death is as terrible as the death itself. My neighbor family is still mulling over what happened to their brother to cause him to do that too - after 30 years.<br /><br />It is indeed good that you were there and able to provide her an outlet for her grief at that time. My heart goes out to her for the pain she is bearing now and will remain there for a long, long time to come too. Very sad, just very sad.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30020831.post-3826023811709685992006-12-07T11:13:00.000-05:002006-12-07T11:13:00.000-05:00It is true... most of our problems are still so mi...It is true... most of our problems are still so minor compared to others.
