dear Nes, this terrible news is something that we dread, but we never know when it is going to happen, and usually it's people who we never think would go through with it.
The pain, the suffering and for you to have to hear about this not only disrupts your own mental stability and the caring for his family, but it could put yourself back a step, I hope not, I hope that you will be OK, but I know that you know how much pain this poor chap must have been going through, and probably no one knew.
This is a time when all we want to do is to open out our arms and console these people who believe that nobody cares for them, how untrue this is, everybody needs affection and understanding as we all know from this site.
Nes I truly hope that you can cope with this, and that it doesn't put a hold on any progress that you have been making.
I feel so sorry for the wife and the children and what they now have to endue over a terrible length of time, but I also feel the pain for this man who was secretly suffering in silence, and felt that nobody cared or could help him.
This is just awful, and please Nes I hope that you will able to cope with this. L Geoff. x
