Luca
The person who told me said she’s inclined to believe that it was suicide but no further info has been given. I would be really shocked if that was the case but would also feel guilty, like I should’ve known and done something.

I am sorry for your loss. I don't think it is easy to notice these things let alone help. Try not to beat yourself up for this.

It is not your fault for her death, nor is anyone going to police your grief. This is very sad, and it's never been easy to handle the loss of a friend. May she rest in peace.

I'm very sorry to hear that Luca. Perhaps the tears will come when not expected. That often happens to me, though it's hard waiting for that release.

For what it's worth, Luca: my dad killed himself around this time a few years ago. A year after that, I had a young client at work die suddenly. She was about my age. I always assumed it was suicide because she wasn't sick, they didn't want to tell me what happened, and she could really struggle emotionally. It's never easy.

Regrets for your loss. It is hard when a friend dies. One had taught me a lot and as a good memory I helped his son restore a solo canoe that was my friends. We enjoyed playing around practicing in-water rescues. Keep the good memories alive.

Very sorry to hear Luca. Something similar happened to my brother and I a few years back. Yes, it is a shock that may take a while to absorb. Take care.

Very sorry to hear Luca. They say our oldest brother who was nineteen at the time in the military died intentionally in Sicily, Italy, but who knows when the military and that location is involved. Lots of others were near him at the time. Always sad to hear such things.

At times, feeling nothing can be protective.
