I am so sad to read this story in today's UT. A 90 year old man shot and killed his 88 year old wife them killed himself. Apparantly he decided they had both reached the end of their "productive' lives. No note was found and no surviving family members were listed. So many questions come to mind. What was their health status? Did the wife have Alzheimer's disease? Perhaps their home was being forclosed. One thing for sure, He was feeling helpless and hopeless about their situation. What can our community do to reach out to aging people in dire straights? Please write and share your thoughts.
