Speaking from experience there is nothing your son could have done. I've made sense of it by explaining it to myself like this: they are in a fight, an internal battle that they never tell anyone about. At a weak moment they lost the battle. I went through anger, bargaining, self guilt, etc. It was a fight they had between their ears and there was nothing I could have done. My friend fought depression for over 40 years and the inner enemy won. I was very sad for a long time but after 20 years of carrying this sadness all you can do is be grateful for your time together and thank God that you had the good fortune to cross paths and enjoy each other for at least a while. Lean on God during the hard times and allow your friends and family to help you.
"... To grieve deeply ... Is to have loved fully."
Why can't I lean on God when I'm happy?
That's my worst mistake in life... I ignore God when time's are well and cry for help when shit hits the fan.
I should give some praise when I don't have reason to complain.
I'm ungrateful, that's my sin.
