My hubbys brother adopted his wifes 2 children from a previous marriage.
They were brill kids and he loved them to bits.
Tracy was so sweet and was a brill runner who ran for staffordshire and met her hero Sebastion Coe.
My hubbys brother and his wife divorced sadly and my bro in law died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 52 6 years ago.
Now weve found out that Tracy has hanged herself.
She lived a mile away from us and had 2 sons age 13 and 17.
Her funerals next week. She was 42.
Im gobsmacked! I can picture her now running for staffordshire.
I used to think people who commited suicide were selfish.
Since suffering with panic attacks I dont think they are selfish but just wish they would realise that there is so much help and support out there.
Perhaps its time there was far more information about websites and books/leaflets in doctors surgeries about mental health.
Why should people feel ashamed and embarrassed about asking for help about the most complex organ in our body?
I know I do, There is still so much stigma about mental health that it really annoys me.
