Graduation, falling in love (if they hadn’t yet), marriage, buying a first home, children, etc. There aren’t words that even touch the sides of their grief, but ‘I’m sorry for your loss’ is a good start. Don’t ever tell them you understand if you haven’t lost a child, because you don’t. Talk about their child with them if you knew them and feel okay doing it, they will like that he is remembered. Sometimes well-intentioned friends or family wrongly assume it will be painful to bring up his name. It isn’t. What’s painful is thinking people have forgotten your child or feel ashamed that he took his life.

Much love to you and your son, Bella. My condolences to the young man’s family and friends. ❤️❤️

Is this the voice of experience? If it is I am sorry for your loss also.

I think that one of Claire's son's friend was murdered. Perhaps that's what you're thinking of?

An apology for calling her a liar would be nice.

My Lad lost a friend today, another suicide.A very bright Lad in his 20s who wrote fantastic music etc.
My Lad is only 18 and this is the second person in his peer group to commit suicide, last one was his mates sister who was splashed all over the news, she was only 15 and was very talented. A high achiever...

It seems to happen all too often around here, a 15 year girl killed herself just after Christmas, also in the mainstream news.

I used to work in Mental health and my late bro tried to take his life several times but he had a long and enduring mental health issue.

My Sons friend managed to get to work and appear cheerful and although a bit different, he showed no signs of a deep depression.

Too sad, I can't fathom out what is going on for some of today's young folk

That’s If it’s true Bella , it’s a forum that have loads of posters that are unbalanced that looking for a response, I’m surprised you working with mental health all these years and posted the tragic event on here ,

Just WOW! How can you even question someone pouring their heart out like that? Just because you don't know them doesn't make it a lie. Suicide among younger people has dramatically increased, and we ARE losing a lot through this.

Quite easy it’s like history repeating itself, many years back Bella posted on a forum exactly the same post that one of her sons toke his own life ,

That is absolute rubbish! I have one son who is 18 and a stepson in his 30s, they are both very much alive and neither has mental health issues.
