Not sure anyone can ever really understand something like this. It is heartbreaking and my condolences to family and friends. This one sentence stood out to me, "Both parents were ordained ministers". To me it just seems to add to the sadness and thought of how absolute dire this family's situation had to have become.

Eh, I think the fact that they genuinely believed there is a heaven and that the 3 of them would all get to be there forever, together and free of mental illness, makes it a bit LESS sad. I envy believers. They most likely didn't have the same fear of death that others do and weren't as terrified in their final moments, especially considering how well-thought-out and planned this was.

But what a tragic fucking story.
