Coping with family member killing his wife and then commiting suicide...
I don't know what to do. I can't sleep. I can't think about anything other than what happened.
I'm devastated and horrified and angry and confused. I'm a college student and working. I don't know what to do. I just found out today and already missed two assignments. Help...
None of us saw this coming, he was not abusive or a cruel man. He was nothing, but kind to me and the rest of our family.

The day that my Mom, a cancer patient died of cancer, hospice worker organized to have a grief counselor immediately come to my sisters home where family was gathered and they asked me to take my school age children out of school right away to be there for the meeting so the counselor could talk to the kids too. Medical professional take grief counseling seriously, so don't pass it up, you'll only prolong the process for yourself.
