There is no way to escape growing old.
I am of the nature to have ill health.

All that is dear to me and everyone I love
are the nature to change.
There is no way to escape
being separated from them.

you didnt want to do that wrote:As a very close friend of the victim, I can assure you that your words are helping us to deal with our loss. It is of great comfort to know that those who didn't know her - or us, her friends - are thinking of us at such a difficult time. Thank you.
I wish I found it hard to believe how many of these kind of tragedy's are happening in our area but with the way we all just want to carry on with our own lives, blinkered to those around us I regret that they will continue. Any one got any ideas as to how we could help to bring the number down. I hope those close to this loss can find the support they are going to need. I doubt it will help much but many of us are thinking of you.

I suffer from depression and as far as i can say only the person who is depressed knows how she / he feels I have on a number of times tried to do something but was overcome with help of my mum and one close friend it is sad when someone takes their own life but it goes to show how much the family tried to help her locking her up in DOP is not the way to go i am sorry yes she needed HELP but the people who she wanted it from did not help her Sorry but this is the truth talking from depression i know what i am saying.
PS your name is not the truth and its probibly not wise to talk from desperation as it is then that you do not know what you are saying
