You know how they say that women have intuition about these things ("God whispers")? That instinct she had to not return his call probably saved her life. That he went to such great lengths to punish her by setting up his suicide scene for maximum impact, to REALLY hurt her is very telling. Of course she's traumatized because that was his intention, his Plan B. I'm telling you, if she'd returned that call, it would have been Plan A: he would have gotten her over there and taken her with him. Her instinct to pull back was on the money. If she were my daughter I'd be angry too but, believe me, in time, you'll both realize how lucky you are that SHE's alive.
God bless his parents, you and your daughter. I'm so sorry this happened and I'll be praying for your peace of mind.

So sad and tragic.
I hope your DD can talk to someone so she realizes that she could not have done anything to save him. People intent on killing themselves will find a way to do it despite our best interventions. My heart goes out to all involved.
Your DD may suffer some post traumatic stress, this is perfectly normal. She'll need time and comfort from friends and family. She'll need to deal with and accept what she saw and how she feels. She'll need to "get through this" in her own way, but with a little help.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Oh, how horrifying. This must be absolute hell for your daughter. May I just add, I think I would get her home or get to where she is ASAP. The therapy is an excellent idea, but IMO the support of her family is invaluable.
Wishing you strength & peace,

Wow, what an awful situation. I agree with some of the others who say that she is lucky to be alive and unharmed (physically, at least).
The act of suicide is a very confusing thing to understand. Please get her home immediately and into some therapy, someone who specializes in grief counseling.
My thoughts and prayers are with her.
