This was a good read and quite heavy. I'm not sure what the takeaway is though.<p>What can we learn from such a tragedy that might help others? A trend in such stories seems to be a period of increasing isolation from everyone but in many cases none of the cut out people do anything about it. I find it hard to understand how the family of the wife can just accept losing contact like that, but I've not been in this situation so what do I know?<p>Either way, grim stuff. At least the deaths were quick and they didn't seem to really suffer that much.
