Ross,
That is a real bugger. I don't think life really equips us to cope with a sudden death. I can't even begin to imagine how you and Cheryl must be feeling right now.
Don't beat yourself up about your best not being good enough. This is one of those really sad and tragic occurrences where nothing you could have done would have made any difference.
I used to think depression was one of those things where it was just a case of the person concerned needing to come to grips with it and stop feeling sorry for themselves. But having later experienced it in my close family I now know that it is caused by a chemical imbalance in the body. It can be treated by (prescription) drugs but sometimes that causes more problems than the original depression. Chronic depression is a ticking time bomb and often there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
Ross mate, I really feel for you and Cheryl. If you want to talk, PM me and I will phone.

Oh my Ross, I'm so very sorry to hear of the loss of your son. Deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Ross & Cheryl,
I was so sad to hear the news & really feel for you both. As Russ said, chronic depression is a clinical condition, not a result of any parenting issues (I also know this from direct family experience) - there obviously was nothing further that you could have done.
Heartfelt sympathies mate.

Dear Ross, my heart ran cold when I heard about this tragedy. These are only words and not even mine but when I was faced with something similar it gave me a glimmer of understanding and hope that there is a plan that is bigger than we can see.
"To mourn too long
for those we love
is self indulgent -
but to honour their memory
with a promise
to live a little better
for having known them,
gives purpose to their life-
and some reason
for their death....."
I wish I could offer you more, but you are in our thoughts.
Kindest regards
Owen & Karen

Ross and Cheryl,
What an appalling blow. Janet's and my sincerest condolences go out to you both.
As has already been mentioned, don't feel that you are to blame - you did your very best for your son, but his clinical condition got the better of him.
Look to the future.
Best wishes,
Tony and Janet Hunt
