    Scott I'm so sorry to hear your news - a lesson to all there about reaching out if things seem dark, I think. Glad to hear that a group of you were able to go out and have a drink in his honour and hopefully remember the good times.

    I am glad today is over i have being an said good bye to my friend at the funeral home. Before that it was a visit to his parents place to meet the priest to help put together his Eulogy.

    I agree and disagree with Essex sometimes reaching out some people just don't want to do it. My friend had family that are amazing and a lot of friends, he was religious, he was under the community mental health team buf all that was not enough.I had told him repeatedly i was there if ever he needed me, his sis had told him the same.

    Anyone with mental health issues do please reach out.

    I am going to miss my mate so much.

    Thanks for all your nice mesaages guys. I will post again next week i need some time.

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Scott only just read about your friend , so sorry to hear this. Helping with his eulogy is a great thing to do. You will miss him and it is a tragedy but you were a great friend. Remember him for the friend he was . Hope you post again soon when you are ready.

    I said i will be back and I am ��

    Thanks guys for all your lovely comments re my best mate.

    He had a lovely send off and its a reflection of the man the crematorium service was rammed. There was a wake afterwards that was the same, friends from university came up to give him a good send off and i dont mind admitting but there was not many dry eyes in the crem mine including mine.

    I am still in a bit of shock he is gone its surreal. It was only a few weeks ago i was sitting in his house having a coffee.

    I will update my journal re money in abit. I will be honest i have done nothing survey wise as i am just not bothered at the minute other things on my mind.

    It's good to hear from you, Scott - I've been keeping an eye out to see if you've posted so it's lovely to see you back.

    Glad all went well at the service - despite the grief, it's always heartwarming to see a good turnout, knowing that your friend was so well thought of.

    Never mind about surveys, they can wait until you're in a better head space. For now, just be kind to yourself.
