    Morning everyone.

    Thinking of SSM, Josie and FC today.

    Had some bad news of my own at the weekend, my DS2 best girlfriend, mum took her own life, she was 39, had 2 girls, 12 and 10.

    She has been suffering with depression for a while, and her family life has not been great, split up with OH but still living together for the sake of the kids.

    I feel so sorry for them, such awful thing to happen to such beautiful girls at a young age.

    They have just had a holiday together as a family, and the mum came to see me on the night before she done it, to show me the pictures, she seemed normal, happy, no signs of depression at all, just cant believe it :(:A

    RIP.

    Oh Sarah, so, so sad for the ones left behind. Hope you are ok and that the girls have a good strong family and friends network to help them through.

    Sad thing is, they havnt got anyone, apart from friends, they dont speak to family, the mum said to me ages ago, that they never saw family, didnt even come visit when she had the girls, so cant see them wanting to know now.
