He "Today was my father's 64th birthday" he began to write. Then "On May 4th of this year, my father died on his own. I didn't know how to describe this loss. There are questions I'll never get an answer to, and I'm learning to live with them. But I'm sure my father was a sweet, kind, generous man and deeply missed," he wrote.

He said he wants to turn this pain into a meaningful work someday, and he wants to support a space where men can connect with each other, open their hearts, and understand.

Douglas Booth "Too many men are living in isolation, unable to express their feelings and not knowing where to turn for help. Loneliness is a silent epidemic. I've been through anxiety, and I know how scared it is to fight alone inside with the world as it is" he confided.




Also "People often say, "You can just check how you are doing,'" but sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the words don't reach the other person. As you get older, you lose the structure of your work, or when you have an identity or body change, the world becomes more difficult. My father struggled with the undiagnosed autism spectrum, and he didn't always have the tools to adjust to new situations or seek help," he said.

"Losing someone by extreme choice is a complicated form of sadness and my heart goes out to everyone who has walked the same path," he said. "I am deeply grateful to my family, friends, and sometimes total strangers who have helped me endure this time."

Douglas Booth concluded the article, saying "Happy birthday, Dad. I love you and miss you. at all times..."




His post was followed by a series of consolation comments from fans.

One fan commented "It's a really heartbreaking story, but thank you for your honesty. It's not easy. Sending love and consolation," wrote another, "deep condolences for your loss. He will always be alive in your heart."

Meanwhile, Douglas Booth appeared in films 'Young Werther's Love', 'My New York Diary', 'Loving Vincent: Impossible Dream', 'Loving Vincent', 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombie', 'Lyat Club'.
