Happy

Happy's sister has asked me to pass on the very sad news that Happy passed away last Sunday night.

Happy had so many friends here who, during the summer months, gave her support, encouragement and shared their own difficult experiences. I know she really appreciated the help. I think so many of us sensed in Happy an amazing, beautiful, kind and talented young woman. She tried so hard to be strong and keep on going but it was too much in the end.

I am so sorry and sad that this is the update.

I don't recall reading Happy's threads but am very saddened to read this news. I hope she is in peace now.

Happy's threads affected me very deeply. Really sad to hear that she has left us now. There were so many MNers ready to support her even though they'd never met her. that really showed the best side of humanity.
I feel that the tide in society is turning against abusers like Happy's partner. I really hope that society makes more effort to pick up the pieces left after abuse, that's where we are lacking now.

I wish Happy's family, particularly Happy's sister and children can find a way to heal and live full lives.

What deeply sad news. One grain of comfort is knowing her dc are with Happy's sister.

I hope her abusive partner is dealt with and rots in hell.

I must say that following her thread I was horrified at how quickly she was discharged from the psychiatric ward. Just sad. So sad.

This is very sad. I read her thread as a lurker. She seemed so lovely. The man is a beast.

I hope her children find peace.

I'd be grateful if you could pass on my condolences to Happy's sister OP.

I am relieved that the children will be with her sister, and am hoping with everything I have that her ex husband gets put away for a long, long time.

I can't stop thinking about this today.

I've donated to Women's Aid online, something I'd been meaning to do in the run up to Xmas but this has made it all much closer. It's nothing in the face of such a tragedy though.

So sad to hear about Happy. I read her threads and have been checking regularly since, hoping for some good news. I just hope she has some peace now. My thoughts go out to her lovely sister and her children.

Just too awful to hear this. Bless her.

Happy's sister, if you're reading, this must be so hard for you to face. She was a lovely young woman, that was obvious from the little we knew of her. What a terrible loss for you and your family, our hearts go out to you. It is a huge relief and comfort that her babies are going to be safe and well cared for with you.

This is just awful. I followed her thread mainly as a lurker but wishing her on, she affected me deeply as well, she was so brave. I would like to pass on my condolences.

Oh no, this is just heartbreaking. I followed Happy's threads and she was so sweet and genuine. I too remember her talking about her quilts, that was the moment I thought she had turned a corner and was sounding like her true self. Just horrific that the lies of that man couldn't be shaken...

I'm so glad you were able to update us whoknows. I send my condolences to her family and those children. I'm glad Happy's sister will have them, I remember happy always wanted that..

I like the idea another poster had of donating to women's aid. I'll look into that later

Xx

Heartbreaking. I too lurked and had been wondering and hoping for a positive outcome for Happy. So saddened with this news. Rest peacefully Happy.

I'm so sorry that Happy was in such despair. This is awful news.

This is heartbreaking, I read her first thread. Hopefully she has found peace and her children will be ok in time with their auntie.

I'm so sorry to hear this, poor Happy xxxx

who knows how are you doing? I remember you saying that you joined Mumsnet with the hope that you might be able to help Happy, and that you spoke to her on a couple of occasions. I'm really inspired by you and the way you were willing to step over the invisible lines and reach out. I'm sure it meant so much to her as well.

I lay in bed last night staring at the ceiling after having a good cry about Happy, and just had the strangest feeling knowing that so many of us are thinking of her and her family, even though we don't know her name....I hope that if Happy's sister ever reads this or the earlier thread, she will feel the love and support that can't physically be there.

Awful news for such a scared young women who's only wish was to give her children a safe place to grow. She had moments of absolute glowing strength where she shone like the sun but also very low moments when she questioned her right to be a mother. It's heartbreaking to hear she didn't make it, but I'm so glad her sister will raise her children - it was something Happy wanted.

I hope she has found peace at last, my condolences to Happy's family and I hope they get some comfort knowing that she had so many people on here offering love and support in her most bleakest moments xx

Only just seen this. This is so sad. Her poor young children and sister. I really hoped she would find a way.
