Do you ever feel like no one understands your pain? Theres no lonelier feeling than that. Feeling like youre alone to struggle through the emotions until they subside. I think we all feel this way at times. Five years ago, I lost a dear friend to suicide. As you might imagine, her death changed my life forever. If I had a chance to go back and do anything different, I wouldve asked her how she was feeling. I would have listened to her vent. I wouldve hugged her rather than just take it for granted that she would be ok. My heart has been extremely heavy the past few days thinking of my friend and all of the good times we shared. She was smart, vibrant, beautiful, vivacious and kind. She was my friend...always there to help me, no matter what. I cannot help but feel guilty for not being there to help her when she most needed it. Im giving that guilt to God, as I know it is not something I want to keep. My point in all of this is: If you know/love someone that doesnt seem to be acting like their normal self, reach out. Show them you care. Extend your love. Dont wait until its too late. Love really CAN save someones life. #writteninhonorofcaroline #itselectric #imissyou
