My friend just took her own life, and I am at a loss

And I don't know what do to, and I hope that a blog is appropriate for venting my deeply impacted feelings. I hate to unload on the Temp regarding this matter, but tonight, I leaned absolutely horrific news regarding a good fox owner friend of mine. I spent time at my parent's house only to receive horrific hellish news from another friend on Facebook, the person in question....decided that amidst her silent suffering, unbeknownst to her friends int he fox community, that taking her own life was the best option. I don't pass judgment on her, nor do I bear any resentment as I cannot and do not attest to know the state of her mind, but, no one ever suspected of her having deep issues that needed resolving. That being said, I'm very badly shaken up, my body is in a state of utmost shock and my tears flowing like an out-of-control flood. If anything, I need to vent, I need a sounding board, and I don't know what to think right now, other than the fact I've lost a close friend, and it hurts, it hurts like hell. Will I be able to overcome this, yes, but it will take time, how much, I don't know, but it really makes one think on the frailties or mortality. I need to vent, and I thank you for taking the time to read my latest news.

:cry::sad:

My heart has sunken, and I am about to cry again. I admit that...I haven't exactly had the best track record on GBA Temp, or the fact that there are people that I unfortunately irk at times for one reason or another, but I wanted to say that I'm not the best at pouring out my heart, but I need to get this out in the open, as I don't want to bottle this up. I never expected someone as sweet and amazing as her to take her own life. :cry:

I'm really sorry to hear that man. I can't imagine what it's like to lose someone that close to you.
Just take the time you need to come to grips with the situation. We'll all be here for you in the meantime.

I'm so sorry :'( Depression is definitely not something that should be taken lightly, and it's absolutely horrible that she got to the point of deciding it would be better to take her life than continue...

If you need to talk to someone, my PM box is open, as always. I wish I could say something deeper or more meaningful, but there really isn't much I can say, particularly knowing the situation :'(

I'm sorry for your loss. You will recover but it will take time for such scars to heal considering she was a nice and lovable person. Get well soon.

Remember that you are not alone. Losing someone isn't an experience I would want someone to live. Stay strong, and remember she remains in your heart.

My condolences, I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I can't exactly relate but I can empathize. I'm not sure how helpful my words will be so my apologies there, but stay strong man. It's okay to grieve and cry too. Shed as many tears as you need to, heal, and live on to be someone she'd be proud of. That's what I would do anyways. Be safe.

As someone that saved someone from suicide only to almost lose that person 7 years later, not to mention attempted it meself multiple times, all I can say is that their driven to extremes to opt for that way out.
All you can try to think of is that their finally at peace.

I'm sorry for yer loss chap, I hope you'll drag yerself through it well.

Sorry to hear. But please, move on, she wouldn't want you to worry over it, she would be crying in her "ghost" form if she saw you like that. What I like to do is to see the good side of things, or try to make things right in the easiest way possible. Best of luck, and be happy! :yay:

Dude...I'm so sorry...I wasn't home last night, or I would have been logged in to talk...Looks like at the time I write this, I missed you by about an hour on Steam. I'll text you in a little bit if you're reading this. I'm deeply sorry for your loss :(

That's really tragic, my condolences to you and her family. It's always really sad to hear news like this. Stay strong, and don't forget it's alright to cry and be sad. It's never easy losing a friend. Cherish the good memories you have of her. As Dinoh said, at the very least she is at peace, it's just too bad it came at such a cost.
