First of all thank you to everyone for your kind words, advice, and support.

She was a friend I knew through another support group, I'd known her on and off for almost 12 years. I only got the news of her death last night. I've wept for all the other friends I've lost, I can't seem to cry for her. Maybe I will soon, maybe it will hit me and this is just like a delayed reaction.
