  • Roselyn died today

    Thursday, August 28, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    My best friend and adopted sister died today.  Somehow it is my fault for not picking up on the cues.  She understood everything about me and we had a plan, like Thelma and Louise, to die on the same day.  She knew I would not adjust.  The dark sadness is engulfing me.  I don't know what to do.
