Sorry to hear of your friends untimely death Lori. Her blog is a most interesting read, esp. the frozen orange and the entry from 12/14. I'm not done delving into the blog, but I will be by day's end. She had a wonderful talent of conveying her feelings. I'm sure that you're using it as some sort of therapy. Thank you for sharing, I find it to be very insightful.
A buddy of mine that suffered with mental issues, just last week, committed suicide by intentional drug overdose. He had a history of drug abuse but was clean for over 2 years. Something triggered him (his brother thinks it was a fight with his girlfriend) and he bought a boat load of tombstones (xanax I believe) and drowned them with a bottle of beefeater. He was a great kid who had his share of problems, but we all do and its how we deal with them gauges our strength. He never was one to face his battles head-on. RIP Brian Engarde.
My whole life, I was as lucky as they come in regards to my friends dying. Not once had to experience lowering a friend into the ground. That all changed about 2 years ago and have since had to bury 3 of them. they are all tough to swallow, but the accidental deaths are much, much harder to deal with. Time heals all wounds. Again Lori, Im saddened to hear of your friends decision to end her life, as we only get one go around at this crazy thing.
Hang in there kiddo and remember all of the fun times that you two shared.
