[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1024298, member: 12570"] I agree with your coach's decision to play the game. It was essential to get on with our lives and playing the game would have gotten your mind off of the tragedy if only for a few hours. My son had a close friend commit suicide shortly after the junior prom. His mom and I tried to be as supportive as we could but a week had passed and he was still moping around the house. We felt that he and his friends were milking this tragedy for all it was worth. He was scheduled to work but wanted to call in sick (again). I asked his mother to have him ready and I went over, picked him and up and brought him to work. I felt that he needed to get on with his life. He later thanked me (not that day---he was pissed) for what he called "tough love". [/QUOTE]
