(Please tell me who you are and why you are calling though...) I am sick of losing friends to suicide! Another friend lost yesterday, way before his time and left a bewildered wife and teenaged boys wondering why....

No good mate sorry to hear.

They don't realise how many people are affected by their death. Very sad

Missed another birthday for my daughter.... 4th time in a row, due to working away and still another 3 weeks of this stint to go.... sometimes being the major bread winner sucks.

This morning I learned of a friend from my teenage / early adulthood life overdosed and died in his car this morning in Melbourne. I find it particularly sad that he died alone on a dark rainy night at the young age of 37.

He had been offered help and was not long out of rehab but for what ever reason he was not ready or able to make different lifestyle choices. He was also not afforded something that a lot of us take for granted and that was a strong family unit. This does not give reasons for his choices or an excuse but I know it helped guide his decisions.


I hope he finds peace.

You know you can call me Sean if you want to talk... got dentist at 4.45pm but before or after mate.

That very sad.
I cannot stress enough if anyone needs to chat open up here. There is usually someone listening.

Sorry to hear that mate, hope you are ok.

Please consider signing this petition if you haven’t already. Shame it only focusses on Qld, same issues country-wide. This is in the spotlight right now following coverage on ABC Tv.

So sorry to hear about your mate. Family4x4. This sort of thing is getting more and more regular.
