Very sad. How are Eddie’s kids doing? They must be teenagers by now? I agree with you. Ultimately it’s selfish. You decide that your need to end your pain is more important than the devastation and grief you will leave your family with. I can only guess that people in those situations are too immersed in their pain to think of others or they push themselves over the edge with drugs.

I still like Joy Division, but my friends who didn’t grow up listening to it, don’t get what’s so great about it ;).
