Apparently, Svend's missus Lene killed herself after becoming stricken with some heavy bi-polar issues caused by Svend's recent bad health.
Fucking tragic really; Svend became ill with his kidney issues, Lene became depressed as a result of the upheaval, Svend recently had his kidney operation after which things should have been changing for the better for them, then...BOOM!!! Svend is in Romania, cannot contact Lene so asks his mother to call round to the family home upon which she discovers Lene dead after taking her own life!!
Svend is a lovely guy, and will be in fucking hell right now, and that's before we get to thinking what their little boy is going through.
It's one of those times I'm grateful for being able to wipe my own ass, etc.
