And realise im very Anti Islam, opinionated and just a grumpy, 47 year old man and have far to much to say sometimes.
But life hits you hard when you don't expect it.
In work last night and had a phone call from a friends mother, he was 51.
He suffered with mental health issues, he left a note to say he could not handle the lockdown anymore and took his own life,
Me and his mum cried like babies, the most heart breaking conversation I have had in my 47 years of life.
Absolutely gutted, we spoke twice a week. Met once a fortnight for coffee. Devastated he didn't tell me how much he was struggling, I never for one second thought he would take his own life even though I knew about his issues. Today I'm blaming myself for not seeing how down he was, but he didnt say he was struggling, and finding it hard with the lockdown he was just his normal self when we spoke.
If anyone on this board is suffering with mental health don't act the hard man, speak to a mate, relative, any one, as listening to his heart broken mum you really don't want to put your parents through such agony, please, please speak up, it's not just your life your taking.
I thought I'd experienced most hard things in life, divorce, heart attack, liver problems, my own struggles with mental health and alcohol.
But speaking to his mum yesterday was the hardest, saddest thing i have ever done, she and his dad are completely broken,
Both well into there 70's
I can not see them getting through this, i hope im wrong but it may well end up being 3 lives ended now
Please, please speak up if your struggling with mental health and look out for your closest ones
Life is fragile, life is hard but life is all we have.
Yesterday I was fighting the world and it's wrongs, today I realise it really doesnt matter,
We can't change it, just roll with the punches, try and smile and move forward.
We are only here a short time, make the most of it.

I’m so sorry to hear this mate.
You have worded your thoughts so well and I must admit that it’s a very sobering read this morning. You are absolutely right that life is so fragile.
RIP to your mate.
