A tragic story and my deepest sympathies you are still aching from the loss. Hopefully your grief will one day be replaced with the joyful memories you shared with her.
Thank you for your comment. Believe it or not, a lot of grief has subsided, giving way to warmth & happiness at just having known Kat. But part of me will always be lonely for her.
Thank you for reading. This wasn't easy to write but I'm glad I did.
I've heard similar trends but what threw me off was that people who talk about suicide rarely ever go through with it so when Rupert killed himself after threatening to for so long, I was so shocked. And looking back on her behavior, Kat never talked about how she felt about Ru's death so that should've been a warning, too, but I was in shock that it didn't register.
It really is hard to tell who's serious and who isn't. My mom had a friend who used to threaten to kill herself often and never went through with it. The girls therapist told them that she was doing it for attention and not to give it to her... She threatened it, they ignored it and she jumped off an overpass and killed herself that day. She finally went through with it. This was way back when, but I sure hope that family got that counselor in BIG trouble.
So often we are told of the signs, but there's always the person you'd never suspect. It's such a terrible thing and I can't imagine what it must be like :(
*hugs* Thank you for reading and commenting. And thank you for the compliment. If I'd tried to write this or planned on it, I wouldn't have been able to so I'm glad I just wrote without planning anything first.
Thank you for reading and thank you for your thoughts. I didn't really pay attention to what I was writing while I was writing but, when I went back and reread it, I just cried my eyes out.

Sadly, I've heard that once someone commits suicide, often others close to them do too. They just can't handle the grief.
*hugs*

I can't imagine how hard this must have been to write, but as hard as it was and as hard as it is still to say, you write about it very well.
