5. So sad

One of the awful things about suicides are that often the children later try to commit suicide themselves. This happened in one of our good friend's families. Our friend's sister killed herself, then the teenaged daughter attempted the same thing and our friend took her in, put her in therapy, did everything she could for her, paid for college, etc. Many years and many attempts later, Laura, sadly, succeeded in terminating her life. Berniece (our dear friend) was never the same.
