Well, I sort of realized that life can make such a twist at any moment ; I reckon this sounds very very trivial, but to me it was a big slap in the face.
So instead of spending hours at work for (often unpaid) overtime, I will go home earlier and play with my kids.
And talk more often and openly, even if only about daily life problems.

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Bang on. Shout it loud (especially when there are developers within earshot).
If you don't tell people what's getting you down, they won't know and can't help.
If you do tell them, you'll be surprised at how many are willing to help.

That's terrible for her and the children for sure...
Of course he left and killed himself so for sure he was not having the best of the moments at that point, but of course now the wife has a very hard time in front of her...
That's terrible.
condolences to all the involved. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Such a hard loss in a problematic time has often such results (like under drugs). It is hard to recover. 
Keep looking after that family for a while, so they havent the feeling to be thrown in a big hole.
Press F1 for help or google it.

With all others family members and friends, we discussed a lot about how to do that in the coming weeks. It is not easy to find the right amount of "caring" while not being too intrusive - reminding her about what happened every other day is probably not the way to go either.

The poor girl probably wasn't quite in control of her thoughts, and believed that they would want to be there.
OTOH: twenty years from now, they'd probably be upset that they hadn't attended.

Actually, I do not think it was not bad. Only very weird.

I think I read somewhere that men in their 40's and 50's are the group at highest risk of suicide.
Although I don't know his family I feel for them as suicide can bring a whole bunch of questions and emotions into people's lives, some of which are never resolved, as well as the pain of someone they love having just died.

Serious? It was meant as a joke, as I know how much you like Bacon... 
But ok, here's my explanation (at least that's what I can think of):
Degree educated - BA (Bachelor)
criminal - CON (convict)
hero - SANDWICH (Earl of Sandwich???)
|
|

|

Close enough:
Degree educated BA
criminal CON
hero SANDWICH (see Hoagie) is the ultimate food!
BACON SANDWICH
(Though in reality, the Ultimate Food is Sate from a street vendor in Bangkok!)

Nobody simply jokes in Mordor.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.
