Yet another sad case recently known to me. Suicide that is.
A father of four young boys, known very well by my daughter. On the face of it reasonably content and happy. I had seen him perhaps a couple of times when picking up one of his children from school. Seemed happy enough. But obviously putting on a brave face.
The most shocking case for me was my GP. For twenty years he had dealt with my "case" while I saw him as the contented family man. Always greeted me with a smile. Family photos on his desk. Then one day, visiting the Surgery for an appointment, a note was on the wall. He had taken his life. Yes, shocking. I wonder what it was I missed.
All we can do is try to "tell it like it is." Things are often not "OK." Maybe there are times for "putting on a brave face" - but not always.
Ideally we are all here to help each other.
