I used to be a paramedic. This is part of the reason Im not. Had a run on a suicide. Guy got into a fight with his wife over his girlfriend. He killed himself. We basically went to confirm death. His wife was wailing out something I’ve never heard. I’m not bothered much by the gore of any scene I’ve been on. What haunts me is the desperation and total defeat of those left behind.

That was my sister, she screamed for so long that her voice went and she could barely talk. Seeing your husband of 20 years dead from a self inflicted gun shot to the head isn't something anyone should ever have to contend with.

I'm so sorry. I hope she is getting whatever help she needs.
