Sad News

Sad news this morning that my aunt, mother's younger sister, passed way overseas. Sadder news is that she committed suicide.

Needless to say, we are all shocked, heartbroken and cannot wrap our minds around it. It all seems unreal.

She was situationally depressed but seemed to be better and coming around. She spoke with my mother just 4 days ago and seemed much perkier and said herself she was doing good.  She just became a grandma for the first time 2 weeks ago and was looking forward to things with the baby.

Nobody knows what happened, maybe she was lonely with her siblings far away and her kids busy with their lives, we don't know. But eerily someone random friend of my cousins, a young woman did exactly the same thing, same way, about three weeks ago. Maybe that gave her the idea?

My Mom is devastated since she lost her mother 4 years ago. She and her sister talked every week and were close.  My Mom is coming over to spend the night so we can talk and reminisce. My Dad is not too communicative being a  man, and my sister is too busy to do much although she has been visiting my Mom throughout the day.

Just so so horribly sad....its been a really bad day :-(
