A heartbroken mum who lost her son to suicide has opened up about the tragedy to raise mental health awareness and 'make sure others know there is help out there'. Dad-of-two Robert Davies took his own life on November 30 last year, just days after enjoying a holiday to Blackpool with his girlfriend and sharing pictures of them social media.
An avid Manchester United fan, the popular window cleaner was described by loved ones as “a clown, fun-loving and as mischievous as anything”. Now, his grieving mother Rachel Davies wants to share her son's story and pictures of him in the lead up to his death to make other families aware of the threat of suicide and raise the profile of charities that can help those struggling.
Speaking to Wales Online from her quiet house in Crickhowell, Rachel says the house now "feels empty" without her beloved son. “It’s important I speak out to help, to raise awareness and money for charities that can help people struggling with their mental health, but to also help make sure others know there is help out there,” she explained.
