#9: A Second Chance
There are some things our family members keep from us because they think we won’t understand or because they want to protect us. It seems obvious why this grandpa didn’t want to share with his family the fact that he was having suicidal thoughts. He probably didn’t want burden them with that.

Knowing that he suffers from depression is one thing, but no one wants to learn something so concerning about their grandpa. As it turns out, he had a whole mechanism intended to keep him from taking his life; he didn’t want to go through with it, but give himself another chance to reconsider, and it sounds like it worked.
