Such a heavy heart today :(

Yesterday morning while at work I glanced at my Facebook and noticed a frightening message from a friend saying goodbye. It turns out, she took her own life. Her family is devastated. On the outside this woman was always smiling, and often put others needs before her own. Only those closest to her were aware of her inner pain, but had no idea the gravity of it. Please say a prayer for her and her family. My heart is broken.

    I am sorry for your loss, Polly. It is such a shame that depression so often becomes a terminal illness.... May you memories provide you and her family with some comfort during this sad time.

    I'm so sorry. The pain and helplessness you all feel is probably overwhelming. Take care of yourself.

    I'm so sorry. It's a terrible thing to go through, I know.

    You've experienced a traumatic shock to your system, take care and know that she cared for you but illness caused this,not the person herself. Grieve and try to make peace with it. I'm praying for you and her family. Very sad.

    I am so very sorry! Losing someone this way is such a difficult and confusing thing. Sadly, my sons have lost quite a few friends, so I'm quite familiar with the pain it brings :(

    I am so sorry to read this and that there was an actual loss. It is painfully true that you never really know what is inside everyone's heart.mind.
    I think of Robin Williams - so sorry is all I can say.

    Such sad news, but sadder yet your friend was suffering inside for some reason and this was her only solution. Praying she is in peace now and prayers for her family and friends, too.

    Polly, I just saw this. I am so sorry. It is devastating to lose someone this way. We lost a dear friend last year under similar circumstances. Our group was devastated because he was such a good natured man and we didn't have a clue that he was depressed..
