Hello posters,
This topic saddens me. And, I see it as having about nothing to do with piloting planes. I had many very sad occasions to be present for telling a family member that someone had passed on, even children, and it's simply very sad - one of those things in life better discussed the least possible. I have retired from doing that, it got to be too much.
The topic retains a very very small amount of medical value for discussion, so here it is. Some of the posts so far do not pass the bar for courtesy and value, but I have not bothered going through and moderating, it was quicker to move the whole topic here. Another moderator may take the time with the posts if they choose..
