May be if there was support within the family unit the family would see the
alarm bells ringing.
It would appear that you have been touched and touched very closely by this
modern day phenomena and terrible waste of life.
I have seen it many times especially young people and yes it is tragic very
tragic,however if we in the industry do not distance ourselves from it and
vent it in a jesting type of way it would consume us and therefore destroy
us.
 The ambulance people, the rescue people, the police,and even the zip up bag
people all vent it in the same sort of way.
Can you imagine dealing with the situations that these people do everyday of
your working life?
