Always people less fortunate :-( *possible upsetting content - talks of suicide*

Yesterday i moaned and moaned about trivial non important things, getting stuck at 30 mph behind an old woman, my OH putting one of LO purple socks in with my white bedsheets and the dogs coming in with mucky paws to name a few. This morning my neighbour pounded on my door in an awful state screaming and shouting. She had woke up this am and her husband had not came to bed, she went looking for him and found him hanging in his garage, he had took his own life. I tried to get him down but it was too late. I spent next 3 hrs trying to console his youngest daughter who had also seen him. Why???? I spoke to him yesterday, he commented on the weather and how gorgeous my LO was. He has left behind 3 kids and a loving wife. Made me feel really upset, i should appreciate what i have more, you never know whats round the corner. Just remember ladies we are all blessed with our kids, ok we might not all have loving partners or money but our children are all we need. In the run up to christmas we all need to remember how lucky we are x

Oh my God, horrendous We are so blessed, makes you realise what's important. That poor family, there are no words.

so sad. hope your okay thats a lot to have to deal with.

his poor family

 

[liz1985]

That's awful, made me really sad. Hope your ok x

 

[MiniKiwi]

Oh that's just awful. That poor woman and kids

It really does put those small problems in perspective. I hope you're ok, do talk to someone if you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed by it all - I know I needed some help dealing with it when I witnessed a car accident where a mother died in front of her baby

My god, that is terrible. Poor woman and children. When my hubby worked as a postie on the way down to deliver his mail he found one of his friends hanging in the woods.

Sorry you had to see that

 

[Noodlebear]

How heartbreaking. There aren't words to describe how much I feel for his poor family but I hope you're ok too! That's an awful lot to be dealing with. Hugs x

 

[LittleBoo]

How awful I'm so sorry x

 

[Bevziibubble]

Omg that is absolutely heartbreaking It really does put things in perspective

 

[Kristin52]

So heartbroken may his family somehow find peace.

 

[raychmumtobe]

Oh no :'( im so sorry you had to see that.

 

[Bunnikins]

Awful.I hate to think of people who are so depressed/anxious they resort to that. We really should feel lucky to be here and have people who love us x x

 

[weewdy]

My OH has been great and my LO is giving me plenty of hugs. Good knows how i will sleep. His wife is heartbroken, no note, no obvious reasons why. Ive cried since i got home just cant get my head round it. Its made me even more determined to have best xmad ever. Its going to be hard though knowing my neighbours are going through this. I am not close friends but its affected me, seeing him like that. His daughter asked me if she was dreaming. How on earth do you explain to a 5,9 and 12 year old.

Oh my gosh! My thoughts are with you and his family that must have been awful to see, I hope you're alright.. Make sure you seek some help if it gets to you, it's an incredibly hard thing to have seen x

Last week we took the kids to the local park and to get there we drove through a private estate, full of huge houses with flash cars and electric gates and I felt so jealous thinking of my little rented house but I soon snapped back into reality because I have what no amount of money could buy. Ok, I might not have had the best life growing up but when I look at my 3 kids, I know that I have everything I need.

I try and see things on 'the grand scale' now. If I am having a down day, I just put things into perspective and to be perfectly honest - if my kids are happy and healthy then my worries are not that great.

I hope you are ok and I am glad that you have the support around you, it must have been a horrific thing for you to deal with.

 

[Emma11511]

Oh gosh :/ Definitely puts things into perspective. I hope you, and obviously his family, are okay lovely. xxxx

 

[louandivy]

Oh god that is just terrible, that poor woman and her family are you ok? That must have been very traumatic to see

 

[Caslynn]

That is so heartbreaking I hope you are doing okay. During my practicum for EMS, on ambulance, we got a call where a man had hung himself. I couldn't get his face and the heartbreak on his wife's out of my head for a long time. But eventually it does fade and you do learn to cope.
I agree with Ceejay123, look at getting some professional help if it starts to really get to you.

If you need to talk im here

How awful x
