That reminds me of an experience I had way back in the days when I worked in casualty. We got a lot of silly attention seekers pretending to commit suicide, but one night we got an ambulance with an old man in it and he was already dead.
His wife had died a few weeks earlier and he cancelled all his papers and milk, put his dog in the kennels and emptied his late wife's medicine cabinet down his neck, leaving a heartbreaking note for his sons apologising for what he was doing, saying that after 50 odd years of marriage he didn't want to go on living without her.
I blubbered that night.
