Rachel Pinker was a healthy, happy, 33-year-old in the prime of her life. She had two beautiful daughters and a loving husband – a close-knit unit of four. She made balancing young children and a high-flying job look easy. Outdoorsy, she walked an hour to work every day, loved swimming in Brighton’s icy waters, and wrangled life-long Londoner, Helen, into buying a tent and joining the family’s camping trips. Last October, Rachel’s life was cut tragically short. “She wouldn’t be dead if it wasn’t for the pill,” says Helen, her friend and neighbour in Brighton.
