Ten years ago I had a good friend who went out the same way, also a beautiful girl. It used to kind of bug me when people would do the "acting ESPECIALLY sorry when they saw her photo" thing, because if she'd been ugly why would that be less of a loss? When this kind of thing happens, I always wonder why it takes someone's death to bring out real compassion (not talking about you! More my own experience) but like with your friend, if she had told her group of friends that she was so despondent that she couldn't pay her rent she would kill herself because that was the last straw, would they have found a way to help her? Everyone says that AFTER someone dies..."if I'd known, I'd have done ANYTHING..." I'd like to think that they would. Too often others think someone is just crying wolf.
