A bar is to set up a menopause support network in memory of a mum who took her own life. Charlotte Sumbland, 47, from Swinton, died by suicide after struggling with symptoms of perimenopause.
Stacy Stewart, who was a close friend of Charlotte for 35 years, is now hoping to help other women going through the condition. She told Manchester Evening News: "I still remember the phone call. I just couldn`t believe it.
"Charlotte and I were so close and had children the same age – our sons, who are 16, were born nine days apart. I just couldn't believe what I was hearing when the news was given to me.
