Suicide

[Malarkey]

@Thornhill

I just found my best friend tonight. Don’t know why he did it. Just stunned and devastated. Spend the evening in his home with the guards and emergency services but he was dead with a couple of days. Just back from the mortuary now. I was there with his dad and mam. I’ll never forget seeing him. I suppose the only thing about it was I found him and not his poor father.
Just sitting here in the kitchen now with my wife and we are in bits over him. We loved him so much. I have a letter here from him that I don’t know can I ever read.
I am just all over the place over him.

So sorry to read such a tragic story. Keep as well as you can.

He clearly thought an enormous amount of you. Hence the letter. I hope that element provides a sliver of comfort in time.

It’s v hard to come to terms with,friend of old rang me last night and informed me that there were 6 drug related deaths(suicides mostly) in recent weeks in Bishopstown Cork,
A leafy suburb where you’d think all was ok looking in,no one knows,
My friend who was paramedic both in Cork and Dublin and who’s brother still at it here says not a week goes by locally that there’s not at least 1 suicide,
Be it mental health,drugs , relationship break ups, financial strain,family court etc etc etc
List is endless,
It’s just sooooo bloody sad

Really sorry to hear this. Horrible for you. Mind yourself and maybe chat to somebody when you feel able.

Whatever road you take in life, lads, keep your head up. We make mistakes. We fuck things up. No matter.

Put your two feet under you, pay no mind to the drama of others and you’re well on your way.

That’s horrific lad. My condolences to you, the demons (whatever they were) that tormented his soul are now gone, may he eternally RIP

[iron_mike]

Just catching up on this now. So sorry for your loss

@Thornhill Sorry to hear that lad.

[Thornhill]

Thanks very much for all the reply’s and messages. It hasn’t gone unnoticed. And I do greatly appreciate every one of them.

This coming weekend will be his months mind.

I hope you’re doing ok boss.

Ah I am and I am not. Keeping busy sorting out his stuff and house to make sure it’s ok. Once the death certificate comes through I will help with sorting out his banking, mortgage and stuff like that. Need to find out had he a will (I don’t think he did), or even a solicitor. Half the time I’d say I am away with the fairies or in denial or other times in ribbons.

Very sorry for what you are going through mate.

If he had a will it is most likely with the solicitor who sorted the mortgage for him. They will generally recommend you write a will once you’ve bought a house. Someone might know who looked after that, or it might be on documents about the house

If you get a chance at some stage, maybe talk to a professional? That seems an awful lot to carry. Hope you’ve got people around you looking out for you as well. You can’t deal with it all on your own.

@Thornhill good advice here. Adrenaline, love, duty and your own soundness is keeping you going right now but this is a situation forced upon you, nobody expects or is prepared for what you are doing. So just take a hour or so out of the week for yourself. You deserve it
