Sophie, 29

Throughout her life Sophie came across as an open, happy person, who was extremely sociable. She was gregarious, good fun and was always able to raise a smile. Soph was a beautiful young woman, kind, caring and loved by all who knew her.

She loved being outdoors. Four days before she died, she had been mountain biking before going to a Christmas party. This photograph was taken about 4 months before Sophie took her own life. Her suicide was a complete surprise to all of us, none of us saw it coming. If Sophie had told any of us how she was feeling, we would have done everything within our power to help her, but she didn’t give us that chance.
