It Rains In February: A Wife's Memoir of Love and Loss is the true story of a husband's depression and obsession, not only with another woman, but also with ending his life. He said that he was no longer scared of dying, that there was nothing scary about it. The last thing he remembered was swimming out into the crystal clear water. He drank a hundred sleeping pills and did a final check to make sure everything would look like an accident. Sitting next to the dam, he smoked his last cigarette. Afterwards, he explained that day as the most peaceful day of his life. His most recent suicide attempt had been only three weeks earlier. Stuart had been talking about ending his life for a year.
I knew it wasn't an accident, even though the medics and police never suspected suicide.
On the 24th of February 2007 my husband, Stuart, drowned himself at sea, leaving me widowed with two young daughters aged six and four.
