Immeasurably sad: "Almost four years ago, my husband killed himself when our children were three and five. He had untreated depression; he hanged himself. We had been amicably separated for more than a year before he died, and he saw the children every weekend – he was a devoted dad. So when the police came to tell me that they had found his body, I couldn't believe it. Nobody kills themselves when they have small children. Except they do, and he just had."

"Almost a million of the poorest people in Britain will lose on average £12 a week next year – a drop of up to 17% of their disposable income, according to a government analysis of housing benefits cuts announced in last month's budget. The figures show that 170,000 pensioners, 240,000 low-paid workers and half a million others will be affected. The greatest impact will be felt by the unemployed, who will have to find an extra £11 a week to pay their rents – their jobseeker's allowance is £65. More than 40,000 households will lose more than £1,000 a year."
