In reply to the discussion: I had a friend. [View all]Annie Moosee
(178 posts)40. I lost my best friend to suicide
and didn't know for over two years, because she had cut me out of her life many years prior.
Many years ago, I went to visit her almost every day she was in the mental facility... a few months after that; she ghosted me, I guess.
So, I basically lost her three times. The first time she cut me out, the second time, after I was able to see her again a few times ten years later, but ghosted me again. And then, finally, in her death.
Hugs.
