its 2 years since my boy Tony ended his life. I have no idea why. the police came in the early hours of Christmas morning to tell me.
He was only 27, strong, funny, kind and loved by so many people.

He was living in Australia, I thought he might settle there, he'd been travelling but loved Australia. He surprised me by coming home on my birthday in 2019, that was the last time I saw him.

I dont know what else to say, except I miss him so fucking much, the pain is unbearable and I just don't understand why.

I’m so sorry OP. He looks like a wonderful young man

He's beautiful I'm so sorry... I lost a good friend who took his own life and I understand the confusion anger and guilt making many other emotions that circle. I'm sure he would be incredibly proud of you x

What a lovely photo OP. I’m so sorry for your loss. What prompted the move to Australia? I’d love to hear more about him.

Britinme · 24/12/2022 20:40

That's heartbreaking. So sorry to hear it. My husband's son took his own life twelve years ago now. We know why, but knowing why doesn't help with the pain. Many sympathies to you, OP. What a handsome young man he was.
