It's so sad.  

 

I had a friend who hung himself, and I know how I felt, you just can't imagine what the family must be feeling. Such a tragedy.

I said the same thing to my daughter this morning, you just don't know what they are thinking, her old school as lost four in the last 2 years now, 1 stabbed in a fight, 1 killed on a motorbike and one killed by a train only a few weeks ago

I do.  They never get over it because most of the time there was no explanation.  No warning signs in some cases which is even harder to understand for the families.  My best friends brother did it, my bro in laws girlfriend did it (leaving 3 kids) and my next door neighbour did it.  It's the saddest thing to watch their families lives ruined now because of it.  I don't think people realise just how awful it is for the people left behind.

 

There have been so many suicides here over the past few years.  A lot of teenagers.  Tragic.

I worked with someone whose brother took his own life, There was an explanation for him. His girlfriend had him so wound up he put a gun to his head

My mates mum is just.....gone.  It's been 4 years now but she just can't accept it.

Sorry Ells, do you mean she died or walked out and never got in touch again?
