Sorry to hear that Jules - my wife's uncle took his own life though he was older. It's a painful thing to deal with.

I remember reading about a year ago a piece from the OpEd pages of the NY Times - the writer told the story of a friend who had taken his own life and his pain and confusion over it. The last line of the piece was - (I'm paraphrasing here) - "May the good Lord in His mercy bestow on him the forgiveness that he could not give himself". I thought it said alot -

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
