One of my favourite players of that era, possibly of all time. Great batsman who could catch pigeons in the slips. RIP, Thorpey

He was wrong in thinking his “wife and children will be better off without him.”

It is the worst thing you can do to your spouse & children, your other relatives, and all your friends and colleagues.

The NHS is useless, and their prescriptions often makes things yet worse, but friends and family can help

That must have been devastating for her but for you too.

It was and is. Of course I look inwards and wonder if there is something I could have done or said. Sadly I suspect not. She had bought in to a lot of the conspiracies that were around during Covid and at the end was convinced the spy TV was sending messages for her to kill herself as she had had the Covid jab and it was only a matter of time before she was under state control. Hence I see red when you hear the idiots on here who buy into the idea there is a Great Plan to subjugate us all and when you question it they just say "Do your own research" or answer a question with a question

But thanks for your thoughts

I hesitate to elaborate but it is worth saying.

I know three who “chose this way out.” Two because of Covid-19 lockdown, One as a result of premature immensely lucrative early retirement.

I’m certain that all three didn’t realise how much they damaged their relatives and friends by that decision. Had they realised, I doubt that they would have been “so bold.”

People end up in difficult places but friends and relatives can help. Even after ridiculous Covid lockdown, depression, early retirement, divorce and relationship breakdown.

Find friends, even rubbish one, find relatives, even if they’re all mad as cheese.

Shoot the breeze.

This too shall pass
