Well shit. You may not know this but my son committed suicide 5 months ago today. I wish I could give you some soothing words, but it's pure hell. He was 21.
If you or you wife want to talk or need some info (there is an excellent Parents of Suicide mailing list I'm a member of which has seriously saved my sanity) please let me know.
I will give you some advice my father gave me that at first made no sense but in hindsight was very wise - it helps people to help you. Let them.
My prayers are with you. The pain is something thankfully no one else will understand unless it's happened to them.
