I have an adult child with severe mental illness. It makes life less-than-easy, but others have it worse (including her). She will probably live with us until we check out. One of the things that concerns me, is how to help her, after we are gone.
I have also had many close associations and friends lose children, relatives, and associates; often, to unnatural causes. It has to do with the demographic I hang with.

Perhaps this is morbid curiosity getting the best of me, but your last sentence was a surprise. What demographic do you hang out with that has such a high rate of death due to unnatural causes?
I can’t get specific. Suffice it to say that we are working to recover from destructive pasts. Sometimes, we don’t succeed.
Fair enough. I’m in the same boat, though possibly for different reasons. Best of luck to you.
