@kawola17 I personally know Chris Williams and his kids. I went to school with Michael when this happened. You obviously have never been through something as painful as losing a mother or a child or a friend or a brother or a sister. Maybe people do die everyday but to those who loose them it's not just another person. It is one thing to have a grand mother or someone who has lived their life die but Anna, Ben, Michelle and the unborn baby had a lot more life to live

It doesn't seem like you've actually overcome this situation in the video. You still show a lot of bitterness and anger. What happened happened. People die all the time. I don't know why people live in their bubbles. Well I do. But people need to realize from the beginning that life can be gone any second. There's no guarantee; how you die or when you die. If it wasn't that teenager taking their life, could just as likely been someone else. Until people realize this, they won't get over it.
