Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, Sue, I'm sorry. That's awful.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh Sue, how horrid. Much peace to his family and yours.

So sorry to hear about that, Sue.

Suicide rates skyrocket among survivors of a recent family death, so I'm wondering if grief and loss might be likelier culprits than money woes.

Suicide rates skyrocket among survivors of a recent family death, so I'm wondering if grief and loss might be likelier culprits than money woes.

I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't some untreated depression. His dad went a little bonkers years ago and totally fixated on money too. (Hoarding it and claiming he was totally broke.) But my uncle had untreated and out of control diabetes (which eventually killed him), so everyone attributed the craziness to his disease, but I have to wonder if something more wasn't going on.

Thanks for all the thoughts. It really helps. And it helps to talk about it, instead of sitting in my cubicle stunned.
