I Lost Someone To Suicide
My cousin (Chris, sometimes known affectionately as Chrissy) decided one day............to take his own life.
When we were kids we actually got on very well. Chris, was well, quite a handful and was just a couple of years younger than myself. We lived in different parts of the country, but saw one another about 3 times a year.
My other two cousins (both girls) were his sisters...one older and one younger. I tended to hang with Chrissy and Marie (younger cousin) as Tina was quite a few years older, also she had a boyfriend.
We got up to all sorts of mischief.....great fun...great times.
Fast Forward to young adulthood.......... He met a girl, had a baby....got a job....................... I thought he was happy!!!
The phone call was the worst bit............my mum rang me.....
'Something has happened..........I couldn't believe what my ears were hearing..............exhaust pipe, car.......I nearly fell over hearing such upsetting news..........I wonder where did it go so wrong?
This was 12 years ago........we still don't know the reason!
