Blimey, what a way to go. God bless them.
poor cliff rescue folk, finding that must be enough to **** you up for a bit!
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
That puts the storey in a whole new light (BBC only had bodies found off cliff yesterday)
Sad, really sad.

I hope the social worker involved in the case is asked some very pointed questions. It's definately *not* normal procedure to leave the parents completely alone after the death of a child (at least if Mrs Lucio's protocols are anything to go by).

This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!
Yes, it's sad; on hearing the story initially I thought that they'd taken a living child over with them, but they didn't, so I guess it's their choice.
But did neither of them have any close relatives or good friends? I've had depression and contemplated suicide in the past (albeit for less serious reasons than the death of my child), but I canned those thoughts sharpish when I considered what it would do to my parents, my brothers and my friends. Now I'll commit suicide if and only if I'm in the latter stages of terminal illness.
However depressed you may be, think about the people who care about you, or the people who would like to care about you if you'd only let them. I still feel guilt about an old teacher of mine who left school through depression when I was in the upper sixth, and then drank himself to death a year later. I saw him a few months after he left and he seemed reallly pleased to see me. I was a gauche 18 year old and acted a bit awkward. My mum was his friend and tried to get him out of the house but he wasn't that interested. Then at the end of my first year at uni my mum emailed me to say that he was dead.
To think that I, as an 18 year old, could have done anything to prevent a 40-something acquaintance dying of- basically- clinical depression is probably ridiculous. But the thought still nags at me ten years on.
He ran the String Orchestra at school, which was mainly how I knew him (he never taught me academically). I played the viola at his memorial service; that was the last time I played it. His elderly parents were there, and the headmaster gave a very moving speech. I cried then.
And I'm crying now.
Maybe I wouldn't be crying if I wasn't drunk, but, TBH, I think I would.
Hopefully nobody reading this post will ever feel suicidal. But if you do, please remember it and think how your death will affect other people. If you really feel you have nothing to live for, then that's not an excuse to kill yourself, it's a reason to find something else to live for. While you're alive, and can function, you can do good, so do it. By killing yourself you can only cause other people to share in your suffering.
