God only knows
i suppose you never know whats going through peoples minds

Very sad news charmer.

OMG, thats very sad news.

thats very sad

OH's son and they lad are really close-we're always taking the mick outta OH's son, asking when the wedding is
he's absolutely heartbroken

Hi Charmer, I'm very sorry to hear about your OH's son's friend taking his own life like this. It's very sad indeed, and tragically a story that is occuring over and over with young people.

It's devastating, incomprehensible and unthinkable. To lose a friend is tragic enough, but in such circumstances as this it's just so sad.

I wish your OH's son all the best as he goes through the grieving processes, and may the young man in question be at peace.

That is so sad,poor lad n my heart goes out to his family n you oh son

all OH's sons mates have turned up here as the words going round
i've got a living room of big lads either crying or silent
its bloody awful
so im gonna sign off now
ta for your thoughts

So sad. His poor family. My friend came home from work to find her son hanging from the attic door. He was only 18. Its so devastating for the people they leave behind.

Oh bluddy hell how horrible. His poor family...and your son - thats one ****ed up thing to get your head round.

So sorry about your sad news.. and for OH's son.

My Gawd Im really so sorry

That's so sad and hard to comprehend - I know 2 boys worked worked with my daughter committed suicide last year - you just can't take it in. Just be there for him charmer, it'll be a long, slow process but you'll get him through this. I'm so sorry - we're here if you need us to talk.

Sadly it seems a lot of young men are just not coping,terribly sad.

that's awful - so very sorry.

That`s really sad news Charmer. It is heartbreaking that someone so young felt that suicide was the best option.
for your son.

Young lads are most at risk of suicide - it's because they can't/don't talk about the things that are worrying them.

Devastating for the parents and all the friends - your son must not blame himself for this charmer

OMG how upsetting A lad at my daughter's school (aged 14) hanged himself in February and no-one knew why as he had seemed fine. It's terrible for it to happen, but even worse, when you don't know why, and because they're gone, you never find out. My heart goes out to his family. And your son will feel it too.

Be prepared for the fall-out over the next few days/weeks as what has happened actually hits him good and proper. I bet your lad hasn't had much experience of people dying around him,a nd when you're young (I am assumin ghe is under 25,) it knocks you for six when someone of your own age group dies. I'm so sorry My thoughts are with his family and everyone who knew him.

So, so sorry

Just got to be strong and be there for them (which you're already doing by the sounds of it). Sincere condolences to this poor lad's family and friends...

Such a shame. It's the ones who are left without answers that suffer terribly! My friend's son did the same thing. He left a party full of the joys, and they found him 3 days later. It's devastating! So sad for you all charmer

really sad, shocking news xx

My thoughts too. It stinks.

I never know what to say to these things except I hope the pain subsides (even just a little) soon.

so sorry to read this went through the same situation a few years ago with my Son

all I can say is be there for him and anymore mates that hang around and take each day as it comes

a tragic waste of a young life

Awful, awful news charmer.
So tragic too. What was in that poor boy's
mind that brought about such a devastating
outcome.

My thoughts and prayers will be with your
son, the boy's parents and everyone involved.

Very sad

cheers,
youve said some nice stuff-we've packed them all off to the pub-their local-you couldnt move in our living room, i sat upstairs
me and OH were saying if only the lad could see how devestated his friends are (let alone his family) he'd be shocked
but thats not gonna bring him back is it
my step-son has aspergers, so we know its gonna affect him bad, we're just gonna 'monitor' him, we dont want him thinking thats the way to cope-that might sound dramatic but you just dont know do you?
anyway, thanks again for your kind words

OMG How awful. Really feel for his parents too

I am very sorry to hear that, so upsetting

Gosh well that puts everything in persepective doesn't it?

I'm moaning that my hubby hasn;t got enought work as well.

My thoughts go out to his family and your stepson

I will say a little prayer on Sunday morning for them

This is awful Such a tragic loss, thoughts with the family xx

Very sad news charmer.This is happening all too frequently these days.What's going on with this world?

Its horrible Charmer... I've known a couple of people who have committed suicide.. its hard to come to terms with, and I know it shocks you to the core.

Time helps to heal.

God what a horrible thing to happen Charmer. I hope your stepson and the lads family will be able to come to terms with this. Suicide is such a dificult thing to understand. Such a shame that someone so young felt this was the only option. My best wishes and heartfelt sympathy goes to all of you.
