Found out last night one of my former counselees committed suicide a few weeks ago. Not even 30 and soon to be married.

We kept in touch after I switched firms and I’d recently been helping him around his new role (was struggling).

Still in shock but reminds me of how precious our kids are and reinforces the importance of our role to support them. Keep those kiddos close and show them how much they mean to you.

Sorry for the loss. A decent manager did the same last year, couldn’t see it coming. I think we need to redefine WLB to include trips to less fortunate places where people struggle to eat and have a roof over their heads, may be this will discourage some and make them reassess their fortunes in life, that no matter how bad it seems someone elsewhere got it 10x harder and to count the blessings.

Agree with McK1 and M1. Also there is very little (no) research based evidence to support Maslow's hierarchy to begin with.

I’m sorry to hear about your loss. It is always shocking. I’m not sure if you are able to send a note or card to the family, but if you are, I’m sure it would be appreciated for them to know that their loved one left an impression on you.
