I think a person killing themselves in desperation is one thing. A person killing their family first and then themselves, is a selfish act, even if it is also batshit crazy. I can't understand the reasoning behind it and it makes me sad to think of these men's families.
I hope we don't see more of this. It's awful. But it makes sense that more people out there will get affected by the current financial crisis and they may see no other way out of their particular downfall except to kill themselves. If they must, I just hope they don't get trigger happy and kill their families too.
I think life can always go on, even after something like losing all your material possessions. If you have your health and your mind, there is always a way to get back up and continue living, despite the hardships. In the grief of losing everything you own, I'm sure it's hard to see that.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
