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.
