I recently found out a good friend of mine that I became aquainted with on this site, has passed away. Breaks my heart to no end. I was there for her but evidently when she needed me most I was so caught up in my own issues that now it is too late. I should have tried harder to get in touch with her. Something I will regret always. Lesson learned. I will never make that mistake again. I am so so sorry Kristen. I will miss you always. And I will forever miss our conversations.

Sorry for you loss, but you cannot blame yourself or it will drive you nuts. You had no control over the situation.

Kate, I am certain Kristen did not hold it against you for not contacting her. You gave her joy and friendship for the time you communicated.. both of you gained from your postings. Take Care

I too had a friend who passed away (suicide). I know how if feels..the regret, guilt etc.. But please be reassured that you are not responsible for her passing away. No one person can save another person's life if they have already chosen to take their life. You provided her ( as you do so me and so many others here on DS) with comfort, joy and reassurance. Please know that you are an amazing friend!!!! HUGS

It always seems to happen that way. I have always believed that our life is mostly planned out before we are born. We can veer a little but our destiny will always be the same. You had no control over your friend's decision. You are a wonderful person and have made people smile and feel better! Keep it up! : )

You cannot blame yourself. When it is someones time it just is and there is nothing any of us can do about it. Just try and remember all the help you did give her. You cannot be responsible for what another person thinks or does.

I was very close with her too. I know exactly how you feel. No matter what, we couldn't help her any more than what we did. Kris was so heart broken that she was just to the point she couldn't handle the pain any more. All we can do and be grateful for what time we did have with her. For all we know, we could have lengthened her life by talking to her when we did. That we will never know. She will be greatly missed, that is for sure *Big Hugs*

Don't blame yourself Kate....don't do that. You know she would not and doesn't blame you for what happened. When things happen, they happen, and sometimes, nothing you do can stop it.
I felt the same way about one of my dearest friends, who I spoke to merely hours before her suicide, and I felt incredibly guilty for months. I still have to fight that even now, but it doesn't help anything...
