Grieving mother's mission to help others after losing 'kind and caring' son to suicide

A grieving mother who lost her son to suicide wants to set up a support group for those whose loved ones have taken their own lives as she admits she is still struggling to come to terms with the death of her "cheeky" 22-year-old. Nicola Robertson, 42, has shared her grief after losing her electrician son Tyler in July 2020.

Nicola, a mother-of-three from South Tyneside, hopes to set up a support group to help those who have lost loved ones to suicide after realising there was "little support" out there after Tyler took his own life. He had been suffering with low mood and mental health difficulties before he passed away, ChronicleLive reports.

Paying tribute to her son, Nicola said Tyler had always been "outgoing and happy-go-lucky", was a gym fanatic and was "dead cheeky". He was working away as an electrician in London when he passed away.
