I'm trying to remember if I have heard his name before, but I am not all that into cricket, but I think I have. Either way, it's very sad news.

It’s terribly sad and I’m so pleased that the family are able to talk about it, Suicide should not be a taboo subject it is very common and people need to be aware. I volunteer for a suicide bereavement support group after our own son took his life in 2012, we have newly bereaved joining us every month for support, it’s a terrible thing for those left behind to deal with but when someone takes their own life they invariably aren’t thinking of their loved ones it’s just that they want to end their mental pain, they have a tunnel vision where nothing else matters but ending the misery that they feel.

Rip Graham and I hope his family can find peace.
