Goodness, what a sad experience to have. And to have written about it too. Reading through your comments, I can imagine how you felt after, it's a human response.
Powerful ... sometimes we need to read the truth among the made-up tales we hide away in. This is incredibly important writing; it cannot have been easy to resurface the achingly sad memories, Susie.
Your precipice piece was a fabulous piece of fiction to counterbalance (!) the first piece.
And, thank you, a very generous share too. Touched. B
Peacehaven...that resonates and brings tears to my eyes. As you know my brother died, he was a psychiatric patient as well. What a encounter Susie, bless you both.
Oh Elske, I am so sorry to bring such memories to the surface for you, I remember your sadness at that time. I didn't realise he had been a psychiatric patient lovely...
I was reminded of this young man this week because my niece has been placed (hopefully temporarily) in the same care centre just this week. All the memories of that time came flooding back, the guilt at not realising his intention haunted me for years.
I was haunted for many years after by the thought that I should have been faster to realise his intent, that I may have been able to stop him, his mother assured me that I wouldn't have though, that this hadn't been the first time., though it was his last. I hope only that he really did find his haven of peace 🙏🏼
There was nothing you could have done Sweetie. He wanted to escape the life he was living. Perhaps your presence served some spiritual purpose for him. As you know, I don’t believe in coincidences. Love n hugs.
I’m not sure I’ve ever felt more helpless than that day Pipp, I was haunted for months and months afterwards. Even now, like today, a memory is triggered… and I’ve never been back to Peacehaven ❣️
A pleasure! And I haven’t forgotten the inspiration garnered from your scrumptious post yesterday, but in 100 words, I failed… needs whittling! Drastically… 😂 xx

No sorry dear Susie 😘 I can't begin to imagine your experience and I hope your niece is at the right place now 🙏 sending hugs 💜
What an incredible encounter!

May he RIP ❤️
I have hoped many times since that he found his peace too Lisha ❣️

Multiply that by ten in my case Pipp - Gemini indecision sucks! 😂
