My friend just killed herself

[BoffinMum]

I just found out this evening. Not sure what happened. She was lovely, I had no idea.

So sorry boff, to hear about your friend. take care x

I am really sorry for your loss. I have experienced similar situations in the past and it is bloody difficult. we all deal with loss in different ways, there is no right or wrong.

going to the funeral can be cathartic, and I would attend if you possibly can. I am in s Yorks if I can help. pm me if you want anything.

my thoughts are with you. I have also used Cruise and found their service excellent.

Thanks for offers of help - very much appreciated but I have to represent my work at something v v important, and because it's not a relative being buried, ducking out would be a bad idea, whatever my personal feelings. Anyway, as long as I am able to help her son a bit I think that's enough hopefully.

I notice that my response to the nasty post was also deleted, which was a shame - but I'll repeat the main bit; I am so sorry BoffinMum, and I am glad that you are finding this thread a support. My prayers are with you and your friend's family.

Thank you, MakeHay. I think the post was so bizarre and misplaced I have probably wiped it from my mind already. As people rightly pointed out, if you criticise other people, where do you go when you need help?

So sorry about your friend, Boffin, what a terrible shock for you.

Still shedding the odd tear, but over the initial shock now, I think. I keep thinking about the lovely things she used to do for me, in a nice way. Looking forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting her son through his finals.

So sorry, thinking of you and her son at this sad time x

Boff
I'm so sorry

If there's anything we april fws can do just let us know

Lost the chuffing FW thread.

Have bumped it for you, Boff.
xx

Oh dear Boffin

I'm sorry. It is I imagine such a shock when someone who you think is ok is so not ok that they decide to leave life. Sleep deprivation does awful, terrible things to you: there is a reason it is used as an interrogation and torture technique. The problem with it is you are so often not believed by health professionals and it's just awful - I know from first hand experience. There were times when I seriously considered ending it all. There is nothing you could have done. Be kind to yourself.

Thank you.

Oh boffy :(

I've just seen this - I'm so sorry for your loss

'Blondes squeezes through iPhone and ((hug))'

I rem reading on your fb about the au pair quitting but didnt know your friend had killed her self as well

As you know - I sadly do know how you feel - much love to you xxxx

Very sorry you are having to go through this, bereavement by suicide is extremely tough.
