After further review, why not.
Father in law decided to off himself, how he got to that point is more than I wanna bore anybody with. Suffice it to say that he had just moved into a house near us after almost 2 yrs in assisted care. Got a call from a relative who had been helping him out, unable to make contact. We dash over, find the doors unlocked, him & a bloody mess in the living room floor. An almost legible note nearby. Not a sight I'll soon forget.
Nearly 4 hrs of standing around answering questions for the cops, plus trying to calm little sister in denial. At the funeral, same sister shuns & pisses off entire family, since it's all about her.

Oh, & I had to arrange for wife's b-day gala 1 week after the funeral. Lotsa nice presents from her family...not. All things considered, she's handling it very well, & I've never been prouder of her. But it's gonna be an interesting next 12 months, as the estate grinds its way thru probate.

I never thought I'd be grateful for the fact that all my family is gone, & I don't have to deal with this crap any more.
