Just gotta know about a piece of sad news. Someone I know, had passed away.
He committed suicide, leaving his beautiful wife and 3 young children.
Not that we are close friends, in fact, we had only met once when I went to France about 3 years ago. He and his pretty wife hosted us, we hanged out, we visited vineyards; we had dinners and lunches. They were great hosts and I had loads of fun.
The lovely couple brought their eldest son along on one of the outings, I remembered he was about 7 years old. Very cute and because the couple was half french and half Japanese, the little boy was so handsome!
Why would a man choose to end his life? Was he depressed? Was there absolutely no hope for him to hang on to? Was there no love or support from his family?
What could have happen within 3 years to drive a man to take his own life? He was at the prime of his life, only in his 30s. He was good-looking, he had a pretty wife, 3 beautiful kids, a thriving business. What had gone wrong?
Sigh.
This piece of news left me in a pensive mood for the whole day.
Death on its own, is not scary. It is the void and emptiness that the living has to endure, is scary.
I pray for peace and closure for his family. I sincerely hope for the best for the little ones.

Oh yes... the void and emptiness endured by the living is worse. I keep telling The Husband that I want to die before he does.
Oh no.. I'm really sorry to hear this. :(
Recently there is a lot of awareness about depression. It might be hard for us to understand how they feel but they just don't see the point of going on. It is so sad.
Death by accidents is bad enough for those left behind; death by one's own hand... Difficult for the living to tahan... I pray for closure too for his wife and children
