I picture the conversation going one of two ways:
Husband says, "We've lost everything."
Wife says, "That's ok, we'll make it through this."
or
Husband says, "We've lost everything."
Wife says, "Time for a divorce."
Either way, a life was saved. The first scenario, the wife saves the husband's life. The second scenario, the wife will make it out alive and the husband will likely kill himself anyway.
I am not a fan of extreme action. The fact that the media only has one man to report on is a good thing, right? There aren't 50 people doing the same thing every week yet. Maybe we're better off than we realize. Or maybe it just hasn't hit the majority yet.
