Backstory
My brother committed suicide on October 5, 1998 -- eight years after being dual diagnosed as having bipolar with psychosis and alcoholism. Although my mother did not physically pass away until February 23, 2002, the last dozen years of her life were sorrow laden.

Same here. My great-uncle was also killed, and my great-grandmother was never the same. She lived to 92, and although she was unbelievably strong, you could still tell from her face that something was wrong.
