[QUOTE="JD8, post: 4244401, member: 24"] The problem that people that say this don't understand is that you have to provide help at the exact point those people are going through a low. You, and especially they, never know when that will be exactly. If you catch it, great, if you don't, they can obviously do something drastic. Long story short my cousin died in a Drunk Driving accident when I was 20yrs old, her mom and my mom were sisters. My aunt had been battling depression for years before my cousin died. Whole family was very close to ours. My mother would rush over there in the middle of the night to help my aunt with her bad times. This went on for years. When my cousin died it sent her over the edge but not immediately. It was six months later and she was actually pretty sneaky about it this time. Planned everything out and there was no stopping it. The sad thing was, there was another brother. He lost his brother, to which he was very close, and then his mother within six months. He's basically my mother's child now though thankfully. But he's all grown up and well adjusted with a family. Dunno how he went through that. [/QUOTE]
