I was this friend to Lillian. My best friend. Listened to her, sacrificed so many things so she could get over what she was going through. Advised her. but she never took any. I got tired. stretched beyond limits. I wasn't reaching out like I used to. few months later, I heard she committed suicide..I was broken..I should have called her more often, should have continued to listen.shouldn't have given up on her.. maybe things wouldn't turn out this way. I miss her terribly.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I can’t even imagine how heavy that must feel.
But please, don’t carry it alone. You did the best you could at the time, and that matters, yes it counts.
It was never your fault. I know it’s easy to replay every moment you stayed away from her, every silence…but the truth is, we’re human. We get tired, we break too. And it’s not wrong to reach your limit, because you loved her, and that’s clear.
And I believe a part of her knew that, even if she couldn’t fully receive it then. Your grief is valid.
