It was only when Beth Matthews died that her family found how many people she helped with her writing.

"I think she realised that there were people out there who were benefiting from her knowledge and understanding," says Chris."I'd sit on the settee all the way through the night, while my hubby and my kids were asleep, and just feel like the loneliest person in the whole world, with plans to end my life, trying not to act on those plans," she explains.Melanie would message Beth on Twitter, asking for support. And Beth would reply.

The chief executive of charity Mental Health UK, Brian Dow, says Beth had a special ability to explain the "raw, really challenging moments" that many people face. PC Jessica Floyd - who says she will never forget the incident - wanted to speak in Beth's memory to urge anyone who was also struggling to talk to someone.

Sgt Roberts and his team now routinely use knowledge and experience they learned from Beth when dealing with high-risk situations.Yet while she was doing so much to help others, Beth was still suffering with physical pain from her injuries and mental health struggles.
