Lost a friend yesterday - hug your family

[wnlbutterfly]

I lost my teenage son 8 yrs ago, but not to suicide, and as difficult as it is dealing with the loss of a child, I think that losing a loved one to suicide is a whole other world of pain. I hope they seek some good counseling to help through this.

This is going to be very difficult for this students also, and I pray they have a good counselor for the students and staff as well. A lot of schools aren't prepared for this.

As for insurance, I do know that my DH insurance will pay out for such an event. And I have heard that a lot of insurances have started doing so, but if it is within a short period of having initially started the policy it won't (many use 6 months).

I am sorry to hear of your loss.

To stay with the morbid theme, when I took out my life policy at age 28, there was a "2 year waiting period" on suicide and then it paid.

No plans of it but it's just something that stuck in my mind what the agent said.

Sorry to hear this.
