{{{{{{hugs}}}}}} Do not blame yourselves. It is easy to say that if you had been a better friend things would not have worked out the way they did but it isn't necessarily true. You see people commit suicide because they are mentally ill. You friendship would not take that illness away. You might argue that if you had been there she would have had someone to talk too but you are not the only one in her world. She had other people to talk to as well and she didn't. Chances are she wouldn't have talked to you either. When a person gets to that state they have a tendency to close themselves off from everyone who is close to them that is why they feel so very alone. Please don't blame yourselves.
