A gifted musician, Lucien Guest, 22, tragically took his life after battling mental health issues, leaving his family heartbroken and seeking answers.
He had been struggling with mental health issues for over three years. Lucien started studying music at Birmingham University in 2019 but had to leave due to the pandemic. It really took a toll on him.
He was in a long-term relationship, but things got tough before his death. Lucien switched his antidepressants just a week before he passed away. His family doesn’t blame the driver who hit him, which is really touching.
The coroner confirmed it was suicide. Lucien’s mom shared a beautiful tribute, saying he was a unique and cheerful person. He loved playing the trumpet and was a talented musician.
But the pandemic changed everything for him. He went from playing music with friends to being isolated at home. That really affected his passion for music and his mental health.
His mom talked about how the breakup impacted him too. It’s so sad to think about how much he was loved and how his family is coping with this loss. They miss him dearly and remember him as a fun, loving person.
Lucien’s story is a reminder of how important it is to talk about mental health. It’s crucial to support each other and reach out when things get tough. His family hopes that by sharing his story, they can help others who might be struggling.
