it certainly was tough for her. Sorry for her death.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

old rugged crossThat is a great Pix of her and the bird. Animal's just know who to trust. That bird trusts her completely.
Very sad. Such a tough thing for those close to her to endure. Help each other Mars. You will need the support.
I am truly sorry.
Her warm smile makes it easy to see that she was a wonderful person.

Dallas239Oh man, Mars, I am so sorry to hear this.

If her friend is a mutual friend to you, let him know, it certainly is not his fault. Authorities may have Baker'ed her, or she may have talked her way out, and even if she did go in, no guarantee that she would not fall back.
And all the second quessing he can do will not bring her back, but eat away at his life.
Amanda would not want that for a friend. No one would.
Tell him to embrace the good things she did and take up something himself to preserve her work in any way he is able.
That, at the end of the thing, is all we can do.
Some questions, we never get an answer we need.
Sadly, this is all true. A former coworker climbed up on a nearby parking garage last month. We watched for hours and hours as the SWAT negotiators talked to him. After about five they got him to turn around. A few more and they got him to come down. He went into the hospital for a few days and then went home. Then a few days later he killed himself. Sometimes there really just is nothing anyone can do.
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

Build a man a fire and keep him warm for a night, set a man on fire and keep him warm the rest of his life.

acidjazzI'm so sorry to hear.
It sounds like she was a great person who did a lot of wonderful thing for animals. Looks like she did a lot of good things for this world during her stay here.

KMitch200Sorry to hear of the loss Mars.
Having lost a friend recently to suicide, the term you used - "gobsmacked" - is pretty much the way I felt too. Like a lighning bolt hitting you on a clear sunny day.
Tell your friend that there was nothing they could have done once someone feels trapped in what must be a very very dark, painful room. My friend *was* the resource who pulled people out of their depression. He just couldn't pull himself out of his own. Sometimes it just doesn't make any sense.
