R.I.P.

My friend Lyn (aka commenter Shadgirl) killed herself Saturday night, an hour or two after she left my house. I just found out when I tried to call her and her sister-in-law answered her phone. She took all the pills she had and climbed into the bathtub, where the guy she was breaking up with found her.

I’d spent the day with her, helping her work out a budget and prepare to have a cleaning lady work on her house this week. You know how it is when you’re depressed — you can’t seem to get started on anything, and I was trying to help. Turns out she was about $500 in the hole every month and didn’t know what she could do about it. She was making plans to get a new roommate after her ex left, but nothing was final yet.

She was on Zoloft. I don’t know if that had anything to do with it.

We’d known each other since high school. I can’t say I’m completely surprised, but I can’t quite believe she’s gone.

  2. Oh, Susie, I am so sorry and my heart aches. Condolences to friends and family… (((Hugs)))

  3. Man, I didn’t know her except as a commenter. Some comments I skip over, but hers I always read. There was always something interesting there.

    How sad.

    Way too young to go.
