For Luna Wong · 1 Oct 2026
I haven’t been able to stop crying after learning about Luna’s death. I’m so deeply saddened by it. Luna’s story of moving to the UK at a young age to boarding school reminds me of my own journey moving from Singapore to the UK at the age of 15. And my parents are Cantonese too. I’m the only child to my parents, who struggled to start a family due to previous miscarriages. Like Luna, I struggled significantly with my mental health, alongside self-harm and suicidal ideation. I was also heavily bullied as a child. And like Luna, I’ve always dreamed of working in mental health. Oh, and I also have ADHD. I had chills down my spine when I saw that she’d always wanted to become a clinical psychologist, and her dreams of possibly attending UCL. I’m currently training in UCL for Clinical Mental Health, 10 years later. I wish I could tell Luna that life will get better. I’m mourning so much, and I wish I could give her a hug and tell her that everything will be fine. This is so tragic and I really just want to send her parents a message of support.
