Friday evening my best friend 
took her own life. I only found out very early monday morning. She was only in her mid forties
Lillian was an utterly amazing person, soooo incredibly intelligent and kind and had such a strong work ethic that was parellelled by her strong sense of justice and playtime.
Other than my husband Lillian was the next person on the face of this planet who knew pretty much absolutely everything about me, we helped each other through lots of stuff and kinda blundered through life together. Giving each other courage and support to do stuff that we felt too scared to do by ourselves.
It was because of lillian that grub exists, without her boat being washed up in Dunqueque I never would have stumbled into that toy store and found grub smiling at me. Lillian was an adventurer always waiting to tackle the next big thing and she poured her heart and soul into absolutely everything she did, even though most of what she did utterly terrified her.
Lillian had a pure heart, fiercely strong in times when she needed to stand up for her friends and family yet surprisingly fragile when it came to standing up for herself. She could see positive qualities in all the people around her but could never see her own of which there were countless.
I'm still numb that I wont ever see her again in this life.
But shes off now. I refuse to say this is goodbye. Lillian has simply gone onto the next big adventure. I'll see her again at some point. until then I hope where ever she is, shes found peace.

In times like this, it's always best to reflect on the joy that the departed has brought oneself over the course of their time together. Always keep those memories close, until you meet again. I'm sincerely sorry for your loss...
I pray to God to be with you, Gem, and the family of your friend, and that he comforts you in your time of need.
Amen. :)

I feel physically ill.
My friend also tried to commit on Saturday. and I immediately felt shaky and made a response image.
Suicide is an awful thing.
I am sorry for your friend, but remember that she wasn't herself when it happened. Depression and sadness brings out the something we aren't.
Heads up, Gem.
I feel shaky now. My heart is heavy. I wish I were closer to you. :C -hugs tight-

I'm so sorry to hear about this, Gem. It's never an easy thing loosing someone close, but just remember all of the laughs and the good times. I lost a family member to this when I was young, and it just tore me up. You have many folks who look out for ya, and if ya need to, don't be afraid to lean on them for support
*Hugs tight and rubs back* I'm so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful friend Gemma sweetie. It's never easy to lose someone and even harder when this kind of loss happens. she may be gone but she is not "gone" remember all the good you had together and all the things she has helped you to do and mold you into the sweet little squiggle you are. she might get a paddling by god but he will snuggle her and forgive her no doubt. she is in a much better place now and will be happy now
*Hugs tightly* words can never describe the pain of losing someone close to you.
Cheer up and think back to the great times you spent together with her.
Don't be sad because its over , smile because it happened.
She sounds like such an amazing person to have in your life and I'm sorry about your loss.
If you need someone to talk to, we're all ears.

I'm very bad at comforting people in times like this, but I must say I can't even imagine the pain you're going through right now.
Suicide is such a difficult situation. No one wins in the end. Death is cruel, and I would never wish such a fate upon anyone. Having my closest friend attempt suicide multiple times (an internet friend, so I was not physically with him), I can only comprehend the fear of being a bystander... but never would I even be able to understand the true sorrow of losing someone so close.
It always seems like those who appear to have it all together truly are the ones broken inside. It's a tragedy. They're there for everyone, but when they need someone they feel alone. If they were only able to see past the lies they tell themselves, the lies they aren't good enough or worth anything--that they're alone in this world, they'd realize there are people there to help them... to let them know they're valued and worth it. To remind them the beauty of life and to dissipate the hatred and evil we all face in our every day lives.
For what it may be worth, I'll keep you and your friend's family in my prayers. I'm so, so sorry to hear about this.

I'm so sorry you are going through this Gemma, I lost one of my closest friends in middle school to suicide... I know what it feels like to lose someone in this way, I hope you will in time find closure. Tragedy takes time for itself to heal over, wait out the storm and the seas will eventually settle... It won't be easy, it will be a long journey to get over this loss, but it's not best to completely forget either. I hope you feel better gem, I'm so sorry for your loss.
i feel this has been said countless times already from the huge and amazing amount of comments above....but i dont know if there are any other appropriate words to say to you about this kind of tragedy. so i will say it anyways...
You have my deepest and most sincere condolences Gem.

The title and the picture pretty much say it all. It´s definitely not the end.
I´ve lost a few family members and friends over the years, and at times I can clearly feel that they´re close by. If anything, they never really leave.
I wish you lots of strength in these difficult times dear.

On behalf of myself and Hourglass-of-Youth, please let the family know that we give our condolences and prayers. If you need anything during this time yourself, know we're all here for you and will always give you support and love.

I am still utterly gobsmacked by this and still don't know what to say or do. It is so sad that now, when I do one day manage to make it to the UK, I won't be able to meet her there. But I think she is in the big back yard in the sky playing with all her heart, and a big heart it is too.
This image... Just utterly breaks my heart...
I'm so sorry for your loss...
But like you said, it isn't goodbye. She's in a much better place now.
RIP, lilginger. I never knew you, but I want you to know that your life has touched so many people. And your passing has affected so many others. You're with God now. Know eternal peace and rest

I just stumbled across this while flipping through your gallery..
This and the shout on her page has me close to tears (It takes a lot to make me cry)
If there's one thing I cannot bear is suicide, I can handle death, because it happens.
But suicide cuts deep.
You're an incredibly awesome person for being a friend to her and supporting her through her life.
It's ok to be upset at her with this.
I wish I knew what drives a person to actually do such a thing.
It's something I could not, as it would hurt so many good people, whom I wouldn't bear putting through it.
I really wish I knew better things today in support so I offer my own quiet hugs.

Its strange when I was filing Found I stumbled on this image about 2 hours ago and had a quick look and a cry....shes been gone 6 months now and some days are still really REALLY hard. I feel bad that im still really not over it and I havent really properly felt like myself since that day really. im hoping that time will fix things or at least make things more easy to bear... This year has just been exceptionally sucky *hugs* But you gotta keep your chin up and laugh at adversity really cause what else is there to do
