Heavenly Stranger

Theres a young man who took his own life 6 years ago. He was in debt and applied for a payday loan but it came with a 5 week delay. He accumulated more debt as he was waiting and became overwhelmed. Since i heard his story ive been interacting with his family and leaving notes on his virtual memorial. I checked my email today and it reminded me that his heavenly anniversary was approaching and like every year i wrote him a note. Is that weird to grieve someone who you've never met? His story just broke my heart . He must have felt so desperate and alone in his final moments. I wish i was there to help him.

Payday loans are a seriously shit idea which often lead to spiralling debt. The interest rates are crazy. As much as he felt like it was the answer, it wasn't. It's just a shame that he felt there were no better answers either. I've been in that place with heavy debt, in my case due to gambling. I considered the darker options too. Fortunately I had a very good doctor at the time who made an intervention and guided me towards real help.
