“Suicide doesn’t end the pain. It multiplies it and spreads it around.
Permanently.”
—
A cousin killed herself and I remember every single detail of that dreadful day —and it was fifty-eight years ago.

Who the hell is she and who cares.
My wife’s mother killed herself when my wife was a kid.
It still causes pain and grief.
Nowadays there are meds (anti-depressant) I understand that have side effects such as homicidal or suicidal thoughts.
My experience with being drunk or intoxicated is that the mind can run wild as well.
Sober now but my life experiences do include such notions in the past.
I can’t jump to conclusions but my suspicions involve drugs, legal or illegal, having a role to play in these tragedies.
