rest in peace

i found out today on facebook that my friend gabby died.
there was a post on a yoga page saying "you will be missed". i called the owner and said, what does that mean. he said she's dead. she killed herself.
that was at 10 am this morning. it is now 2.  i have no idea what to do.
at first i was in shock. "i can't believe she did this"...i heard myself saying.
then i was mad "how could she do this"
then i wanted answers - i called a friend "why do you think she did this"
and  then after that - just trying to make sense of it "what should i do to remember her"

i can't answer any of the above.
these are the facts i know.
gabby had a great smile and a contagious laugh.
she liked to chew gum. i just saw a photo of her smiling and could spot the tiniest piece of gum - kind of blended into her teeth.
she was kind.
she struggled with bulimia.
she wanted to be well. she was constantly working to create the life she wanted. i believed she was on her way.
she loved yoga, health, fitness.
she enjoyed being a yoga teacher and helping people.
she was known as bendy. yes, she had a great yoga practices.
she loved giving people knick names.
getting a hand made card from gabby was always special. she would draw rainbows and sprinkles on her cards.
she was sweet, kind, nice, sensitive, loving.
she loved her family and was so excited to become an aunt.
she had a good heart.
she was my friend.
i will miss her.

rest in peace gabby. i don't know why you wanted to go but i know you were loved and i hope you are in a better place.

love your friend, angie
