Sad Day Today

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts and words.
Needless to say, but the plane ride in the sardine can has been postponed until a later date when I can keep my thoughts on flying.

Still no word today on cause of death. As you can imagine and probably experienced, it's a very solemn time for the family. There will not be any closure, if there is such a thing, unless we learn the cause of death. My sister is a mess. I'm headed over to her home now.
 

I am so,so sorry to hear this,oldman. This has to be so difficult for your family,and especially for your sister. We are not supposed to outlive our children. I`m glad you are close enough to her to be able to go be with her. Keeping your family in my thoughts.
 
I was called to the Coroner’s office this morning. I was thinking, “Why me?” The cause of death has been certified as a suicide. My niece listed my name in her suicide letter as the person to be notified and that I should notify her two children before anyone else. There are additional instructions, but I will keep them to myself.

Right now, we are all in a state of shock. I called the family together at noon, but it’s been very quiet here since I made the announcement. A lot of questions and very few answers.

I am meeting with a suicide specialist, (actually a Psychiatrist who specializes in suicide) later this morning. I need answers.

She has agreed to meet me at the hospital this morning, even with it being a holiday. She said that she has to make her rounds at the psych unit at the hospital, so she will see me at that time. I thought that was nice of her to make the time for me.
 
I apologize for not thanking everyone for their kind words earlier.
