    ****, my thoughts are with you and your family, I can’t imagine worse news.

    You have been amazing through all the rest of the terrible shit life has thrown at you, and I believe in your ability to get through this as well, I know I’m nowhere near as strong as you and have drawn inspiration from you in the past.

    Funeral costs.

    Forget that. We’ll collectively sort that for you. Give us a way to donate and we’ll get it covered.

    And this. Just let us know how, along with anything else that can be done to help. Just ask.

    Jeez!

    I saw the title then saw the name of the OP and just stopped, stunned and saddened. As ads876 says: I think the world owes you a break.

    Take care. Best wishes.

    As with many of the other posts above, words just can’t convey stuff properly sometimes. Absolutely gutted for you.

    Take it a day at a time, a step at a time and keep posting up from time to time so we know you are ok….?

    Hang in there.

    That really is tragic news.

    Really sorry to hear, but all I can offer are comforting words.

    So sorry. I know words from a stranger won’t make things better, so hoping it helps to know there are people thinking of you

    Nothing I can type can express how sorry I am for you and yours. Keep posting here if you need anything no matter how big or how small or even just an ear.

    I can’t see Gnusmas asking for anything, so I’ve set up a Paypal pool should anyone wish to donate. It’s probably an ambitious target but I’ve just taken the average cost from the Co-op funeral site.

    I’ve done two of these before on here without running off into the sunset, just in case anyone is concerned about giving money to a stranger. The best thing about a Paypal pool is every penny goes to the recipient. If the money is needed before the closing date (currently one month) I’ll just transfer what’s in there to Gnusmas.

    Awful news to read about anyone, but after all you’ve been through in recent years… So sorry for your loss.

    OMG… words can’t really say anything and the first ones I’d write would be edited out by the filter.

    That’s truly truly awful and I’ll send virtual manhugs along with everyone else.

    If anything is left in the pot, or it overuns a little for christs sake treat yourselves to a family Neilson holiday somewhere hot and sunny next summer
    If anyone deserves a week / 10 days in the sun its you.
    Give yourself time to breathe
    Or Centre Parks or even Butlins, alternative weather will also be available.

    First and foremost, I’m truly sorry for your loss. Words otherwise fail me here.

    Second of all, when your minds starts processing this DO NOT blame yourself. I know you were having a rough time with him and knew he wasn’t doing well but you couldn’t predict this and would otherwise have been powerless to stop it. This isn’t anyones fault, nobody made him do it and nobody takes that step without some serious issues on top of them. Sadly, from the outside, unless they share that burden you might never know.

    This is a different kind of grief and not something I’d wish on anyone. If you want to talk there are folk here who have dealt with suicide, who can help you process this and ultimately get through this. It’s rough but you will. But most of all take care of yourself and your family.

    Again, my condolences.

    Different Son i think squirrelking.

    I don’t really know what to say and can only echo much of the sentiments above. Hope you look after yourself and let others look after you aswell.

    We’ve never met Gnusmas but I read your updates and can’t believe how life is treating your family and now this. I’m tearing up. C’mon universe, give the guy a break. Thoughts with you at this difficult time. Stay strong.

    Really sorry to hear this – take care.

    We never met but my old Superlight frame got passed on to you via the usual Singletrack chain of love and was built up into a bike for you and your family. I was delighted by this.
