Horrific News

[ramanth]

I'm so very sorry for your daughter to have to experience that.

When I was in High School, my best friend tried to OD on pills. Thankfully her parents found her and the hospital saved her.

She's a different woman now and happily married and I'm happy she's still in my life.

Just got back from the funeral it was very intersting i must add the way Mom was acting she was smiling and laughing at the burial i dont know if this was my daughter if i could get enough strength to put a smile on my face!!Becca is ok they had a open casket which was hard for her she seems to be ok today she said Mom she is not at rest now so im hoping that by her going it will make her realize that she is now in no more pain and she dont have to deal with the harrasment anymore,i wish she was still here i miss her smiling face but she is gone now and the only thing we can do is keep her memory alive..She was one sweet individual and will be greatly missed the girls that were harrassing her are all up on charges and im glad...hopefully they will be put in jail and get a taste of there own medicine i hate bullys!So that is all for now tc guys!

OMG that is horrible, she hung herself? OMG I can't imagine what your daughter is going through... I'm really sorry!

My heart goes out to you and your daughter because you have to face and deal with this horrible event.

But what I am reading encourages me so much - and that is YOU and how you are right beside your daughter every step of the way. My God, how does a 13 year old process all of this in her mind? No wonder she has a vacant look.

I truly do hope that the school has some counselling for all of the students.

But what your daughter needs as well is what you are giving her - solid support and lots and lots of love. It will be difficult - because as you are telling us she will go through many phases - laughter - tears - stone silence - it will be tough for you to see - and deal with.

Your daughter's life is valuable - she is very well loved - and what a tragedy her young friend did not know that about herself.

You have my prayers - and more prayers!

She is just having a tougher time than most she was talking to Alyse the night of they always called eachother at nine or so to say good night and Becca says she called and sounded fine she said she did not sound bubbly like she always does but she told Becca her and her mom has a fight and she said she would be fine and would see Becca on the bus in the morning and that was the last she spoke to her....I think that is what Becca is having such a hard time with at the moment she says to me this morning "Mama i did not get to tell her i loved her and never got to say good bye" its heartbreaking

Poor baby. Like I said, suicide is so ugly and painful. The survivors are left with so many "what if's" and "if I'd only..." etc.

What Becca needs to know, is that even if Alise gave some sort of indication that things weren't right, and Becca didn't pick up on it, then Becca's left feeling guilty, like she could have helped, or prevented it. If she had said good-bye, there's always something left that she should have or could have said. Please tell her that this is all totally normal for her to feel this way. It hurts like the dickens, but it's normal.

As Gini said, you're doing the best you can by just being there for her. Just listen to her. Let her rant and rave and cry and scream. Don't feel you have to answer her questions, because they'll probably never be answered. She needs to be able to talk to someone.

Hugs to you and Becca.

I've come back to this thread a thousand times intending on posting some encouraging thoughts, but how can I? I've never been a mother, I've never had to deal with suicide and I've certainly never had a friend who has passed.

All I can offer up is lots of prayers for you Lori, Becca, Alyse and her family and friends. I can only imagine the pain you all going through.

RIP Alyse. You did what you had to do at the moment.

No tears in heaven.
