A colleague of mine took her own life last week. Mid-thirties, two sons aged 4 and 6. She took over as manager for another medical practice just under a year ago when another friend of mine retired (the friend who recruited me to serve on the natiional executive of the medical managers group I'm now president of). I hadn't gotten to know her very well yet, but I certainly liked dealing with her. I think I had a bit of a crush on her too. Her service was yesterday, but unfortunately I couldn't make it.
What a shock it was to find out she had passed away last Thursday and then finding out the next day she had done it herself. The odd thing is that I honestly thought it would bother me more than it has, not to sound cold. I've certainly been thinking about it a lot, especially yesterday, but I don't know. Those poor kids of hers. What are the odds that one of them ends up doing the same thiing in the next 20 years or so?
