My co-worker was found dead this morning.

That is truly horrible. I feel so bad for the daughter and grandmother that found them. What could possibly drive someone to do something like that?

If the husband recovers, that is the only way anyone might get an answer.

There are a lot of motives for suicide...one is kind of a power trip - the revenge motive.

A woman who used to be a customer where I worked a few years ago put herself, their 5 year old son, and the family dog in the car and gassed all of them, timed it so her hubbie would find them after work. He was apparently a cruel and controlling, abusive man - and she had suffered from depression.

The talk around town was that she didn't want to leave her son to live with that man. And, in revenge, took everything away from him.

It's hard to imagine that degree of despair - and that men reach it too - with thoughtless and cruel results.

My prayers and thoughts to the family, and to you.

This is beyond horrible.. Angie, you and your co-workers and the family involved are all in my prayers.. it's hard to even know what to say to such a thing. The horror of it transcends any words I can think of.

[k9krazee]

How awful! You and the family will be in my thoughts...

[MyLittleMutt]

OMG! That is awful! The family will be in my thoughts.

[chocolatepuppy]

Oh Angie, I'm so sorry. Death is hard enough without it being done on purpose. I will keep you and this family in my thoughts and prayers. {hugs}

That realy is horrible . You have to wonder about some "people". Prayers and thoughts on the way for everyone involved.

I can't imagine what the poor grandmother and daughter are going through. They will definetely be in my prayers...so will you and everyone else involved in this terrible time.

Stephanie, Jesse, and Splinter

I haven't replied because I just don't know what to say. It's so sad
