This thread is about respect, not your opinion on the circumstances!

 

Very sad news. RIP.

 

Yes, the news is sad, he was a great bloke ,RIP,but I feel for his Wife & two children, I did,nt mean to sound disrespectful in any way but when you have the experience of losing someone close to you to a disease like cancer and they wanted to live more than anything, and put up a battle for four years, it leaves kind of a bitter taste in your mouth when someone takes their own life.

It is sad, sad for his family. My best friend took his life 1 year ago this month it was the 12th nov.

He had suffered depression due to his mother dying when he was 14 yrs old and a mixture of other things life throws at you.

I was deeply saddened by his lose and miss him all the time. He had a young family a son of 4 and 15 and a daughter of 7.

For a man that talked about loving his family so much, it still to this day makes me wonder if so then why do what you did. I can understand the brain is a complex thing and you never really know how bad some people are. Taking your life is a very permanent solution to what can a temporary problem.

My friend has turned his whole family's life upside down, the 15 yr old has went completely off the rails and I don't think he will ever be the same again.

Using the word hero with someone whole took there life pains me a bit.

that is 2 very sad circumstances with no link what so ever to each other.

 

There wont be many people on this forum that havent lost loved ones and friends to either of these terrible things, but each deserve the respect, no ifs or buts.

 

As said before, its a Respect thread
