"No, don't bother to reply ........ just figure it out for yourself."

Get off your moral high horse. My comment meant simply that opening the Christmas presents left behind by the deceased woman was very painful.

About ten years ago, the sister of a co-worker committed suicide about two weeks before Christmas, but before she did it, she bought and wrapped Christmas presents for her family, which they found when they discovered the body. In her depressed state, she could not understand that this gesture made things worse, not better.

"In her depressed state, she could not understand that this gesture made things worse, not better." --- no kidding Sherlock. But even mentioning that the girl who took her own life was not wise, alert, or considerate enough to not wrap the presents before her death is just less than intelligent by you. When she bought and prepared the presents she probably had no intent of killing herself.

I had a mother and a father take their own lives. No matter, your comment is just not too smart.

Without wishing to be too crass, I would say it's too bad "this gesture made things worse (for the family), not better." I'm surprised her family passed that little detail along to you. I think it was rather selfish of them, to be totally honest.

Now ................ do not bother replying. You're unawaited and unneeded reply will "just make things worse".
