RIP, CHRISTOPHER FLAHERTY (1993-2018)
TRAGICALLY, LAST YEAR MY COUSIN, CHRISTOPHER FLAHERTY, KILLED HIMSELF...
I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT HIS DEATH COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED, IF MORE PEOPLE REACHED OUT TO CHRISTOPHER... HE HAD AUTISM AND THE POOR GUY DID NOT HAVE ANY FRIENDS.
HE WAS A BRILLIANT WRITER, PIANO-PLAYER, AND ACTOR, WITH A PHENOMENAL INTELLIGENCE...
I TRIED TELLING HIM THAT I COULD HELP GET HIS WRITING PUBLISHED, AND I HAD OFFERED TO HANG-OUT WITH HIM, BUT CHRISTOPHER WAS TOO SHY TO FORM A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH ME...
HE LEFT ME HIS GUITAR, WHICH I WILL ALWAYS VALUE AND CHERISH....
SOCIETY WANTS US TO IGNORE SUICIDES AND SWEEP THEM UNDER THE RUG FOR THE SOCIAL INCONVENIENCE THEY CAUSE, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT A PERSON'S LIFE AND DEATH IN-PUBLIC AFTER A SUICIDE HAPPENS, IN ORDER TO DETERMINE HOW WE CAN PREVENT SOMEONE ELSE FROM KILLING THEMSELVES, WHEN THEY SUFFER FROM SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES TO THOSE WHICH CHRISTOPHER FACED...
I WILL HELP MAKE SURE THAT CHRISTOPHER'S MEMORY AND LEGACY LIVES ON.
I WILL DO THIS BY HELPING HIS WRITINGS TO GET PUBLISHED, AND BY CELEBRATING HIS LIFE, AND OPENING UP THE DISCUSSION ON WHAT WE COULD LEARN FROM HIS DEATH.
NOBODY DESERVES TO SUFFER OR TO SUFFER THE FATE THAT CHRISTOPHER ULTIMATELY MET.
HIS COUSIN (AND ARDENT SUPPORTER),
RYAN THOMAS NAYLER.

CHRISTOPHER WAS WORKING ON A NOVEL.
I AM GOING TO FINISH WRITING HIS BOOK FOR HIM.

HE SAID THAT HIS NOVEL WAS GOING TO MAKE HIM THE NEXT J.K. ROWLING OR F. SCOTT FITZGERALD...WRITING WAS HIS PASSION, MUCH LIKE MYSELF.

Why didn’t you support him when he needed you?
