    Thanks guys I'm fine. My view is that its something that was out of my control and I've just got to move on. My wife however (like many others) is still busted over it and I know she cannot just let it go like me, she's too compassionate. Her friend I was told today has had trouble sleeping the past three nights. Just sucks that the guy did this to the people who cannot let it go.

    Glad to see you're doing OK. You and your wife should go talk to someone. You're right - it sucks that this guy did it this way.
     
  4. I'll second that.

    I witnessed a murder when I was nine; fortunately, the killers were arrested and I never had to finger them, but lived with that image for years before finally getting help. It wasn't until I left college that I was able to open up about the experience.

    Fortunate to have seen them twice, once on previous tour and once on this tour:

    I love this line from the story:

    Gee, thanks Doc.

    This person was an adult who made their own decision.

    This is 1/1000th as depressing as reading about a child being killed. Sorry for the cold hearted response, but stop beating yourself up over this.

    You only cover us when someone commits suicide at our show!

    Sorry.
    Seriously, qt I hope the wife gets passed this and I agree that professional help should be considered. Rough deal there.

    Reading about a death and witnessing one are two different things. 93D, have you ever seen someone die? I have - I saw a plane crash. It was horrible and it was awhile before I could sleep normally.
