Mum, no words of advice, but I am so so sorry for your loss. What an awful, terrible shock for you and for his Mum and sister. xxx

Does anyone know why?

Bereavement is hard enough without having to deal with all of the questions suicide asks...

So sorry.
Any death is hard to bear, but with suicide there is so much more to deal with, the guilt, the what ifs.
There are some great counsellors out there.
We had to go through this with a family member.

He went to his mum's on Wednesday and told her how he felt...she made sure he was admitted to a secure unit...but he got out..

How awful :(

Do you live near his mum? Does she have family with her at the moment?
