Catherine Tresa, who debuted in Tamil as a lead heroine in Karthi’s Madras, has written an emotionally touching tribute to his brother on her official social media page. Christopher, Catherine’s brother, committed suicide on December 10th by hanging himself from the window bars of his room located in the outskirts of Bangalore. Christopher was pursuing his commerce degree in the Garden city and police reports suggested that he could be suffering from depression and there were also reports in the media that he did not receive any financial support from his family including Catherine. Now, this moving note written by Catherine trashes all the reports as rumors.
Her tribute
“I lost my little brother Christopher, my best friend, confidante and companion on the 10th of December 2014. I just cannot think of words that would describe the loss. My family and I are unable to grasp the reasons behind my brother’s drastic decision and are in unbearable pain and grief.
He was, is and will always be the most important person to all of us as he was the youngest. For the past two years, my brother Christopher was having trouble with parental control, turned rebellious and was losing interest in his education. We thought this to be a teen age phase and not wanting to further antagonize him, cut him slack and afforded him due space, all the while having a safety net of other people watch him closely and take care of him.
He even went on a spiritual journey at which point we were sure he was finding/discovering himself and were joyful at the prospect of his imminent return to the family.
However it turned out that my brother Christopher went back to God instead and we are confident that Heaven is surely enjoying his presence as he was the purest soul I know. He found joy in the little things, had the best sense of humor ever and would always make me laugh, no matter how upset I was. He was such a loving person who always saw the best in each person, irrespective of appearances. He was and always will be my inspiration, my support and my rock.
It is simply very difficult to put in words what my brother meant to me! He used to spend every alternate week end with me and gave me so much joy. He is my angel and the person I love most in this world, and nothing is ever going to change that….not even his passing away!!
At this moment of great grief and sorrow, I thank all of you for your prayers, support and love. It is frankly what is keeping me going and humbly request all of you and your families to kindly pray for the soul of my darling brother so that he finds his peace and happiness with God in paradise.”
