My father died by suicide in 1966 when I was sixteen. I lost my mother to natural causes many years later. My dad's death was like being torn to pieces and then, despite considerable family support, sewing myself back together pretty poorly and nearly dying from the lack of decent self care. Loosing mom was just grief, a big blow but no way a comparable experience.
