BluesBear and I send our prayers and sympathies in this most trying of times to your family.
To those of us left behind, it seems impossible to understand the rationale of what causes one to commit suicide....what pain or confusion or depression or unhappiness ...or whatever could bring someone to that end. The only reality is that God does not give us children as possessions...we are their teachers and guides only....and for whatever time we have them....we are blessed. (except for the terrible twos, the trying threes, the puberty.....) just a light note there... Cherish the time you had and never forget the good times. Remember him in his finest hours and seek some help to mourn your loss...be it from a minister, a therapist...or just self-help books at the library or bookstore....but take care of you and your wife. The rest time and God will take care of.
Again, you will be in our prayers.
