Read this shortly after the suicide of a friend's son. Overwhelmed by the loss of someone so young & then to read how many families are affected across the UK. The book speaks lovingly of the devastation & loss felt by the families & wider community& speaks lovingly about how we can all be there to support families in their loss. More importantly it reminds us all to look out for one another, to ask the question "are you alright" & if there are concerns to direct the person to the PAPYRUS HOPELINE 247 to give hope & advice that there is a way through whatever anyone is going through. The courage of those Dads& the generosity of strangers brings hope & love & a smile in the shadow of young people's despair. It can't bring back Sophie, Em or Beth but it might prevent another family being catapulted into the abyss.
