My youngest uncle dropped out of his PhD program and moved back home with Grandpa because of depression. Less than a month later he died of a heart attack. I heard that many in the community were hesitant to visit Grandpa because they thought it was suicide. That didn't make sense to me. Why would they be less forthcoming with their condolences??

Four years later a young cousin shot himself. I don't know if it was the difference in age (20 yrs old vs 37 yrs) but his mother had/has no shortage of condolences.

The death is difficult enough; the cultural component of suicide is an additional challenge. Seven years later, my uncle still drops in on my dreams, and his sister misses him keenly. She'll be with you a long time.
