oh my gosh. that is such a horrible thing for anybody to go through, but, especially to lose such a young person. for a young person to feel that there's no other way, wow. i can't even empathize, that's just awful. my chest is really tight, from reading that. that is so sad.

edited: maybe someone will see that it can happen, and, open the lines of communication with their own children because of this...i don't claim to know what happened or that it had anything to do with her relationship with her parents at all. all i can say is hug your daughter for us at pet talk. that must be such a hard thing to deal with as a child. i wouldn't even know where to begin to talk to her. my heart goes out to everyone touched by this.
