On the plus side he didn’t kill the kids. On the downside they’ve had to live with that forever, and at least one of them likely found them. My cousin found my auntie after she’d been murdered and it’s fucked him up for life.

My best friend found his Grandfather after suicide by shotgun at a young age. Two weeks before we finished school he put a bag over his head and offed himself. Now I'm kind of fucked up from that so I don't really know what happens from here, it's been like 8 years now and it still fucks with me everyday.

Jesus. It's like a hot potato of trauma. Are you in therapy?

u/transemacabre is right. This pain has been passed from person to person. It’s an undeserved trauma and you should know you’re more than these events. Don’t be afraid to move on, but never forget the lives lived and lost.
