One Friend's Heartache

I know the last time I updated my journal was in August, but I felt like this needed to be said.

Earlier today, I went to a funeral to a fourteen-year-old girl who had committed suicide. I only met her on one occasion, but she was the great grand niece to my mom's best friend which is one of the reasons why I went with my mom. From what I understand, this girl's mother is in jail (for what I do not know) and she was being teased and bullied at school about it. I also found out that nearly a month ago she was Baker Acted, and if my mom's best friend and her daughter had known before the girl's death, they would have convinced her sister and niece (who was the fourteen year old's grandmother and aunt) a change would've been good for her.

I know all of this is said and thought about in hindsight, but for those who are left behind by those who have committed suicide, those are all we have. Even at the funeral today, I was able to pick the girl's best friend. She will have to live with the fact her best friend did this, and she didn't have any idea how depressed she was. I know she was the type of girl who would've listened to her best friend.

My heart goes to the family and especially to the girl who lost her best friend.

I also want to let any of my deviantart :+watch:ers know if you are going through a hard time or in need to have someone to talk to, I will be glad to listen to you. My skype is aravesitheoutlawwitch.
