Our local community experienced a tragic loss last month when the father of one of Nerea’s school-friends took his own life after a battle with depression. When I visited his wife during that dreadful period of limbo between his death and funeral, of the many things we talked about, one observation really caught my attention. She said “he was in such a dark place we couldn’t reach him”. I know little of mental health issues but hearing that such a “larger than life” character with a brilliant intellect had experienced such utter desolation, it strengthened my resolve to learn more.
