If anyone has ever had a death in the family....same thing happens...all the vultures come out for their piece of the pie.
I feel bad that he was so stressed that he felt he had no choice in life, but he should have thought about the people he was leaving behind (close family members who loved him for who he was, not what he won). They will never be the same. Suicide is not the answer.
Suicide is one of the most selfish acts a person can carry out. While seemingly saving yourself the pain, you inflict it on countless others for life.
One of my favorite Mother Angelica shows when she was discussing this. She mentioned a couple of women who were fighting over their mother's custom commode. "I would have told them to take turns putting their heads in it."
re: They will never be the same. Suicide is not the answer
My grandfather committed suicide 50 years ago this weekend. I was 12 years old and I can't begin to explain the effect his death had on my family, especially on me. I never really understood the 'reasons' behind his action, but know that it had to do with his health and financial problems brought on by being too generous in helping his family. I often wonder if he had had any idea idea that a full half-a-century later his grandson would remember that day like it was yesterday would it have maybe altered his decisions. I doubt it, but I sure do understand the truth of your observations.
