34-year old Cassie and her 17-year old daughter
A heartbroken woman is believed to have hanged herself after
her parents died just days apart, her family have revealed. Cassie Richardson,
from Fleetwood, Lancashire, had struggled for four years following the death of
her parents Tony and Janice in April, 2010.
The young mother, who has a 17-year-old daughter Sophi, was
said to have been found hanged at the seafront on December 28, in Thornton
Cleveleys, and her funeral is due to take place today.
Her family believes she died of depression and have urged
those suffering with depression to seek help. Her brother John, 40, said: 'I
urge anybody struggling with the loss of a loved one to reach out and ask for
help.
'Whether it is a family member, a friend or an organization
or bereavement service, please don't suffer in silence.
'My little sister decided enough was enough and left us
behind to be reunited with our parents, aged only 34, and the loss of Cassie
left a huge void in our lives.
'But my hope is that somebody reading this will think twice
before harming themselves and in turn those around them that love them dearly.'
Her family said that the 34-year-old had struggled to come
to terms with losing both of her parents in close succession.
Ms Richardson's mother was diagnosed with cancer on March
30, 2010, and just one week later she passed away from pneumonia.
Then, just one day after her mother's funeral, her father
suffered a massive internal bleed and was found dead on the floor of his
bedroom.
