Headstone kerbset For Shaun Gibbs
Donation protected
My son Shaun Gibbs tragically took his own life last June (2019). It wasn't his first attempt but it was his last. He had been suffering depression for quite a while but he hid just how bad it had really eaten away at his mind and his life. Everything became too much for him, his relationship breakdown, being away from his children that were his whole world, the loss of his best friend and confidante to cancer in such a short time, work and most of all his family falling apart.
The second attempt at taking his life ended up in A&E on the friday night and was released early Saturday morning. On the Sunday I took him to Hartington Unit at Chesterfield Royal Hospital and I asked for them to take him as an impatient infact I begged but it was useless as we were told he wasnt 'bad' enough to be admitted as the ones that were already there would make him worse! Mental Health failed him. He was crying out for help but we all missed the signs but they were there. Within eight months and another failed attempt on taking his own life he was gone forever. He left his family devastated but most of all he left his two children without their daddy.
I need to raise money now to purchase his headstone to mark his resting place. To remind everyone of who he was and what he meant to everyone. I want his children to know and be able to find where their daddy is buried and for anyone that couldnt make it to his funeral or that cannot find his grave to be able to pay their respects to him.
I am asking for help as I cannot afford to do this by myself due to my relationship breakdown last year, Shaun dying and my anxiety and depression obviously getting worse due to the recent events and as of yet I have no source of income coming in. Normally I would not ask but I don't want my sons grave to not bear his name for all to see for the next 10 years or so.
Every donation however small will be gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks from myself his mother, his brother John and his twin sister Steph, his children Bradley and Willow and his nephew Jack and nieces Paige and Aria. ❤❤❤
