WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US

 Looking back it is so easy to see how complicit we all were in being unable to see what was about to happen despite multiple clues on Andrew’s part. I know I never asked him if he had any thoughts of suicide at this time. He had told me when he first got sick that he would never do that to us. 

But in the moment things for me were quite different. When I heard Marnie's story, I was in disbelief

Marnie had been a trained responder on the Washington DC Suicide Prevention Hotline. Marnie had not suspected he might be considering suicide. It took every ounce of control for me not to let out, “Are you kidding me, why didn't you tell us?”
