Just Found Out My Niece Committed Suicide

[yourmovemonkey]

83. I am sorry, professor.

Last year, my brother was killed by a drugged driver. He was only 50. I thought I was keeping it together pretty good, taking care of my elderly parents and trying to deal with DAs and investigators. Then, only a few months later, my friend's 14 year old son hanged himself, and I just fell apart. Sometimes life just pounds away at us... like it's made a game of finding our breaking point.

There's little consolation when it seems like we're surrounded by despair, but I promise you that it really does get better eventually.
