Deleted - I want to apologize- I realize the post came off as incentive,selfish and heartless and that's why I deleted it! That was not how I meant it or feel about her or the situation!

Sorry for all you've been through that's a lot of stuff to deal with. Hopefully all of you can find some peace with it soon.

I got to read your post on mobile before it was deleted.  I am sorry you are going through all of this.  People may not realize that you and your friend lost touch a few years ago and they may be trying to be polite because they know how close you once were.  I feel sorry for your friend's family who now have to deal with grief during the holidays, which are tough for many people.  They also need to deal with the grief and guilt that they never got your friend the help she really needed.

Honestly, I didn't know how to reply to your post because I felt it was a little insensitive.  And I'm just going to say to you what I would say to a close friend if they came to me with what you said.  I understand that you guys lost touch and you were no longer close to her, but at some point in time, you two were best friends and she must have meant something to you.  Even if she wasn't the type of person you wanted to be around, I think you need to be a little more compassionate and put those feelings aside.  She was obviously in a lot of heartache and mental distress to take her life.  Your post just came off selfish and like you were annoyed that people were contacting you to say "sorry for your loss".

I apologize if this comes off as harsh, and I debated if I should even reply.  It just sat really wrong with me.

I realized how it came off that was why I deleted it -I really was not mad/ annoyed or upset that people were saying sorry for your lose- I do feel sorry for what she went through and I feel bad that her family will have to deal with every year on Christmas!
