What do you tell a man who has had everything taken away from him in life? When he stands at the brink about to let go of it all, you try out all the usual techniques but then with this one how could it have worked? When he told me what he had been through, it really got to me. Losing a daughter is a pain no one could even imagine, and then his sister-in-law and his brother take their own lives within a span of a few weeks from eachother - that is a lot of loss to have to deal with. I can't even begin to imagine what the last few months have been like for him because ALL of this happened in that time period. He didn't pull back from the brink, I don't think I could have said anything that wouold have brought him back. All I could do was watch as he slipped away and I was left with the empty shell that he had become.
