As I think another poster here pointed out (@hblueridgegal maybe?) it may also coincide with their purchase by a private equity fund. That's a hell of a one-two punch.
Honestly that combined with the supplies shortages that they had been (still are?) dealing with they've taken a hell of a hit. Hate to admit it but i haven't been in a while simply because the last few times i had been they were entirely out of what i was going there for to begin with (Supremes and Cajun biscuit).

I hesitated typing this out since it's still so raw and personal, but you guys are a bit like family. As many of you know, my father passed away from a stroke earlier this year. He lived a full and long life.

I just found out my brother, who is a year older than me, committed suicide this morning. I have no words. I just can't wrap my head around this. I didn't see him too often as we live 1/2 a country apart, but I saw a lot of him over the past few months with the passing of my father. It's cliche, but he is the last person I would have ever expected this from as he obviously hid it well. He was never one to show his emotions much.

I feel paralyzed as I don't know what to do, or what to say. It just plain sucks.

Life comes at you fast so take care everyone.

That is awful! I'm so very sorry. I know we are just message board friends, but since you live pretty close, if there is anything I can do, even just listen, please reachout/PM and I'd be glad to help in anyway, even if it is just a beer or something.

No words, BBA. No words. Just...take care of yourself, hold your family close, and reach out to anyone you need to.

My stepmother committed suicide seven years ago, and I've basically been taking care of my dad ever since.

A lot more folks have been through this than people realize.

There's always more we can do for each other, but just remember, every day, that this really really really really really isn't at all your fault, even when you're sure somehow that it is.

Yup. I lost a 24-y.o. cousin to suicide 20 years back. My own mom who was his godmother took it hard, with ongoing repercussions.

My condolences, BBA.

I'm so, so sorry for your loss, BBA. Like I told Robo, we're here for you, for whatever little that's worth.

My deepest sympathies @Boom Boom Apathy . As others have said, there are no words. Just know, even though we're merely "message board" friends. I feel deeply for your loss.

As @Navin R Slavin said, it never really is anybody's fault. The fates do what they do.

Three and a half months ago my nephew also committed suicide. It was sudden and unexplainable and I call and talk to my brother weekly to check in.

I feel horrible for your loss and as a fellow Durham-ite, please let me know if I can do anything at all.
