Sorry if this topic upsets anyone, but I'm trying to work through my own pain of losing someone close to me, and talking about this helps. A few months ago the girl who was to be the maid of honor at our wedding killed herself. Sarah believed that she screwed up a college entrance exam that she thought would be her last hope for a career (after being out of work and depressed for over a year). She laid out on the railroad tracks after getting drunk on liquor, and apparently was motionless (passed out) when the train operator hit the brakes too late. It totally devastated her family, my Fiancee', everyone. Her entire family is on medication now (including two sisters and a brother), no one can work, and they visit the grave site every day with fresh flowers hoping a miracle will happen. Now the worst part. She had actually been accepted by the college, and the couriers had screwed up the delivery of the acceptance notice. Sooooooo tragic. The parents have the notice framed and up on the wall at home as a source of pride. Their pastor has mentioned that they need to get on with their lives, but they can't. They have turned her bedroom into a sort of shrine.
I really don't know what to think about this as it is all like some kind of terrible nightmare, I don't think I've really heard of any other worse than this. We feel like we are the only ones who have to go through this. Thanks for listenening.
