I'm sorry you lost your friend to suicide, it really does change everything.<br /><br />I'm a fan of IASP also and like that they are worldwide as I believe this is a worldwide tragedy and we need to realize and recognize suicide is everyone's problem.<br /><br />We all need to take time to tell those we care about just how much they mean to us, not wait but just do it on a regular basis. So many who cut their lives short as you say feel they're all alone or that they're an imposition, when in reality, like your friend - many cared and will miss them forever.<br /><br />The journey of those left behind seems to form a common bond that I for one am thankful for. Survivors are some of the strongest, amazing people I've come to know.<br /><br />Take care, Barballucanbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109206867631921278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840389743507575564.post-70003053248775050502010-09-10T12:21:56.539-04:002010-09-10T12:21:56.539-04:00Cheryl, you are very meaningful to me!

You always have a laugh and kind words instead of treating people like they're a pain in the ass. As for Julie I think you're right. If Julie had let us in and not been so worried that she would treat us poorly due to her depression we could have seen her through. No matter how depressed she was she always laughed at a joke. If only...the reality is she is gone, but she touched our lives so deeply. It is ironic that she built up the dbsa/ooo membership and left it behind for us to care for each other and see each other through not just Julie grief but through all kinds of griefs and joys..Don't you forget all who love you when you feel alone..I live across the street! I haven't had an across the street friend since elementary school!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
