I went to, and assisted in arranging, a family member's suicide funeral a couple years ago.
I found that it's very different, going to a funeral of someone whose dying was expected versus whose dying was a complete accident and unexpected, and someone who purposefully died.
Standing there watching her husband crying. How is he ever going to get over that his wife left him, that there was nothing he could do to make her happy, make her life worth living? Knowing that the plan for them growing old together... she abandoned. It wasn't his fault, there was nothing more he could do that hadn't already been done, but try telling him that.
