The story is a Stuff news item, about the wife of an Australian doctor who committed suicide.

Busy with plans I’d made
On the list it went

Sunday 14th May:

Can’t be much of a Mother’s Day for this family.
Is it the same day in Australia?

Monday 15th May

Just want to add a quick note before I make the coffee.

The Twitter feed is alive, so many emotions, and more angles than a journo could dream on.

Sympathy and support, praise for the courage to share this story, thanks and gratitude flowing from many Tweeps, especially those with similar experiences.

Doctors and health professionals breaking ranks, talking about the increasing numbers of suicides in their profession …

We are meant to be helping others, but can’t help ourselves, said one …

More women than men, said another …

And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

Later the same day …

A radio in the corner, the 4.00 news:

Well known comedian and mental health adovate Mike King quits suicide panel.

Here we have a book, a cover, growing its own dust jacket, with clean sheets for pages.
