Was expecting Tom to come to my home today to give me a quote for some home improvement. He was unable to come.
He had received some bad news. The bad news was his friend had committed suicide.
Those words were terrible to hear. I asked, “Did he leave a note?”
The reply I got back was, “Three of his friends have committed suicide in one year.”
Poor Tom.
I knew the answer, but I googled it anyway.
“Suicide is the main cause of death in young people under the age of 35 in the U.K. Over three quarters of them were boys or young men. On average, over five young people take their lives each day.”
RIP.

Losing three friends, that
Losing three friends, that must be heartbreaking. My son is very worried about his best friend, cannot stop thinking about him, wanting to help and not knowing how

Thankyou for your reply,
Thankyou for your reply, Maxine. Yes, he has started seeing a psychotherapist now, because of my son encouraging him but his friend is still very low, was rushed to hospital the other day. But my son is hoping that might be the turning point. It is good that you have highlighted this subject in your writing, Thankyou again
