I know this topic has been beat to death but I can't help thinking about the brother and his wife of diane schuler...how can they handle this, how can they go on living? I think if all my dcs were murdered like that - by a family member, no less - I would commit suicide.
37 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]i can't get this accident out of my mind. when a tragedy happens you move forward because you have to. but when you loose your entire family-- it would be hard to find a reason. i can't imagine becoming preganant after loosing 3 kids. it would be too hard-- and on the new baby too.
[ Reply | Options ]It's like that woman whose child was killed at Columbine. She wanted to commit suicide and the only reason she didn't go through with it was because she had 3 other children to raise. She says she still thinks about doing it, especially when the grief gets too much for her. The brain and the heart can only do so much to make sense of the senseless. I remember there was a book out about Holocaust survivors who committed suicide later in life and the author was trying to explain psychologically why person who survived something so terrible would do this.
[ Reply | Options ]dh and i were just talking about this. depression hit a lot of holocaust survivors later on. immediately after the war, they were just concentrating on putting one foot ahead of the other. it was only years later that they looked around and started thinking about everything they lost.
[ Reply | Options ]np: Yes, but the Hance's now have NO CHILDREN. All three of their kids are gone and what if she can't get pg again? That gives only each other to live for and frankly, I would consider suicide as well if I were in her shoes. I know a couple that lost one of their four children and they both wanted to die, but again, kept on for the remaining three. Pretty certain they would've committed suicide if they didn't have the other children. Sad as it is, the grief is overwhelming, so I just hope they get the help they need to carry on.

And imagine on top of all that, you have people all over the country gossiping about your life and saying they would commit suicide if they were you. How hard would that be?
[ Reply | Options ]the whole situation just doesn't make sense - i feel like there is so much we don't know, may never know, or will be uncovered in time
[ Reply | Options ]this story reminds me a little of the madeline mcann story. tragedy that happened to someone's kids that could have been avoided if the parents had been a little more on top of things. worse kind of tragedy imo

I'm thinking of this all the time too. I think the same thing. I couldn't go on living. the husband though has his son to take care of... (that that I think anyone should kill him/herself!) I just can't imagine the hell they are going through.
