ANOTHER YOUNG DAD DECIDES TO DIE

By Andrew John Teague

R.I.P.

Tragedy has struck us again. Last Friday, early hours, a young father took his life. He leaves behind a 11 month old daughter.

Sadly, just another non-statistic of failings of a system that ignores the parents in crisis.

We know there are many parents who struggle withou help. Actually bullied and attacked even more when they are going through the trauma and in crisis.

But we only know about the ones who filter through to us.

The affect of one person who takes their life passes the pain onto countless others, family friends colleagues.

My heart is heavy I feel very down-hearted. Even after so many, every time it feels so raw and devastating. To think of the children, the parents, the sadness, is overwhelming.

Never do you come to terms with heart-breaking news.

The hardest thing is talking to relatives, siblings, friends, who are crushed. The pain never stops it jumps over onto others.

REACH OUT please never be afraid to reach out. I’m not the family courts I will never use against you and confidentiality for me is priority.

I would rather listen to you than hear any bad news about you.

We have each other we as one can help each other.

R.I.P.
