I send an email to her inbox every month, because she was one of the closest friends I'd ever had. I tell her how I'm doing, how life is, I give her a run-down of what's going on in the world and how I feel about things.
I know she won't reply, I know she'll never see my letters.
She's been dead for two years now, after all.
I'm not sure why I do it. It hurts. A lot.
But I think some naive part of me is hoping that everything that happened was all a misunderstanding, a huge conspiracy or something, and that she's been working undercover and couldn't tell me. I want her to pull a Sherlock Holmes move, and I sometimes dream that one day she'll show up, pounce on my back and exclaim, "Surprise! Haha, you should see the look on your face right now! Shaten would be laughing so hard!"
But then I remember that she can't come back.
It doesn't stop me from wishing, though. Wishing that somehow my emails could reach her and that she could reply.
The over-attached kid in me grins at the thought that one day I'll see a message in my inbox from her that says
"I'm great! Safe and happy, but Heaven has terrible wifi though ugh I wish I hadn't been in such a hurry to get up here. I love you, Donny! Write enough stories for the both of us!"
....'Suicide prevention' is not something you can take a week out of a year to acknowledge and support and then forget about. It's something everyone should be aware of all the time, and /all the time/ is when we should care about bringing others away from the edge, and let them know how beautiful and cherished and necessary, important, everything about them is. What they mean to us.
"I'm here."
It's all you have to say, it's all you have to do. Support the people you care about, always, and never turn your back on them. You'd be surprised just how much that can do for a person. Every life is important.
....That is all.

That is one of the saddest things I've read in a long time, love. And with that said, I hope she reads your emails and knows how much you mean to her and how much you love her. It'll eventually get easier, well hopefully. But for now, stay strong and you'll go far.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I am in the same boat, too my friend. One of my besties from kindergarten moved to Oklahoma, and I didn't hear from her until about a year ago. Right before she left, she told me the voices told her she could fly. I hoped she was kidding. I knew she wasn't though. I had been in her room, seen the blood everywhere. She cut herself whenever something bad happened in the world. No psychologist had any other explanation than "insane". I refused to believe it, though. I just laughed, hugged her, and she was off to Oklahoma. When I got the call, I knew it wasn't good. Her parents had told me the whole story. She had gradually grown worse, and worse, and worse, to the point where she drew smiley faces and suns all over her room and on herself. They tried to keep her from doing it, but she had always managed to find a way to get her hands on something sharp. One day, she climbed to the top of a fairly high building and jumped. I saw the scene on the news, hundreds of people crowded around a ring of police tape. I was horrified, and I did indeed cry. It just broke my heart to know that she was finally gone, gone for good. I refused to believe it though, maybe it was just a look-alike of her. This went on for quite some time, until I had to face the truth that she was gone. Forever. I still can't believe that it happened, so suddenly and without warning. I'm sure our friends are together up in heaven, having fun with other people. I'm sure they're watching us as we speak. I hope you feel better -virtual hug-

I honestly wish I could offer some comforting advice, buy I really can't think of anything.
Just... be strong, and try to focus on the happy memories. Think that she would of wanted you to he happy, so try, for her?
I honestly don't know what to say other than you can talk if you want.

I'm here c: You should know that by now, and to be honest, at this very moment I'm in the same boat, trying not to cry because one of my friends may have killed herself and I didn't get to say goodbye... I want her to answer at some point as well, hoping that she changed her mind while I die inside, waiting for that day. Either way, I'm still here if you need to talk and such ^^'
