One of my best friends committed suicide last night. She was my age. I'm in shock, everyone's in shock. She and I were best friends for 16 years--we met at the age of five, and were as close as can be. I believe friends can be soulmates, and she was certainly mine. In the last few months I'd become the main person she talked to--she was on her own and working--and was struggling with alcoholism and depression. Tried to help as best as I could, but it always feels like it isn't enough. I'm too shocked right now to feel anything. We had dinner last week and was texting Monday night--all seemed fine, no alarm bells or red flags. I know it's natural for those left behind to beat themselves up, and I'm doing that. Can't help it.

She was a big Stephen King fan, and I would occasionally tell her about you guys. She wasn't big into social media or else I think she might have joined here. Her favorite King book was Hearts in Atlantis, and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to read it again. It just feels like a part of me is gone, dead.

There are lessons and everything, and silver linings can always be found... today I was more appreciative of my family and friends and I was thankful to be here. I've been dealing with my own issues, as I've posted before. If anything, this has been sort of a wake up call. Maybe. Who knows.

I was told she left two letters: one to her parents and one to me. They have to be processed, though, so I can't read mine for a couple weeks. (Or so I heard.)

I'm too shocked to feel anything. I'm numb. She and I were going to see IT this weekend. The memories of the past decade and a half are flooding in, and it's all almost too much. Just keep her family, and my family, in your prayers. 2017 has been the year from hell.

Oh honey I'm so sorry this happened to your friend. My heart is breaking for you. ((((cody))) Keep those good times close in your heart.
