That is such a sad story - a sad end to a marriage and two lives - and forever changing those of the children too. It must be traumatic for your group to have been so close to that situation. Dealing with loss - the loss of the love of your partner, of your marriage, of a way of life, of security, of dreams - is incredibly difficult...and occasionally people just don't manage to make it through that process.

I once interviewed someone for a job. He didn't get the job and we sensed he was having a tough time. I tried to link with him supportively and offer our kindest face. Weeks later, I heard that he had stabbed a family member to death. I was much less close to his situation than you and your group, but I was affected by what happened too. Sometimes we just don't know all that is happening for someone and it is a reminder of our own vulnerability too..

I hope you'll contine with the group and support each other through this difficult time.

Take care xxx
