    It has been suggested that there would be counselling available for us. I think the family are more important than us. Xx

    I don't disagree with that but if you'd all built up a relationship with the person through the FB then if any of you feel the need to talk you should do. xx

    The family will get help (my friends son did the same about 3 years ago and they have had a lot of help) don’t underestimate the effect it has on friends and acquaintances- I’d be tempted to access the counselling......worth considering at least :beer:

    When things like that happen, you really need to know your own family are close

    Morning Beanie :) When something like that happens it makes us realise the fragility of life doesn't it and we feel a desperate need to hold or speak to those closest to us. I hope the family gets all the support they need and that your FB family can help each other through it. xx

    I've had my family around me today and I've appreciated enjoyed every minute of it. I couldn't wait to see them.

    I hope you're doing okay today xx

    The emotions sound so painful. Hope you are ok.
    I did lots of suicide prevention traning this year. The statistics are heartbreaking, but it's the individual cases that really affect us. Thinking of you and the family.
