So sorry for your loss.

I don't think anyone can ever describe the loss of a loved one to someone who has never been through it. I lost my father to suicide 24 years ago and I still don't get why he did it and I've never been able to adequately explain my feelings of anger and guilt and loss to anyone.

That being said, I think you did a very good job of trying to impart Jack's "bottom-of-the-barrel" emotions. I felt his hopelessness, his unrealistic desire to turn back time and undo things and his rage at everything around him.

In this case (as in mine and hopefully yours), time does heal all wounds. The hurt is always there but somehow the pain becomes less sharp and less focused as the years go by.

Very well done! Hopefully they will have that sweet life afterall.

Thank you!
