Also, I hurt for you and the painful aftermath you're left to wade through.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing about writing letters. I wish I would have thought to do that six years ago. May you find comfort and healing in the process, even as you mourn.Beth Saadatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714466010215082644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688516975749389825.post-19773400425050242532019-09-12T08:47:14.867-04:002019-09-12T08:47:14.867-04:00Thank you for this letter.

This way I am dealing with our loss and all the unanswered questions.

I, too, wish she would have shared what she was feeling deep inside. If she had given others an opportunity to speak truth to the lies in her mind, I'd like to think she'd still be here.<br /><br />Jenna enjoyed spending time with you at co-op and youth group. You were a good friend to her. Thank you. Also, thanks for all the times you've faithfully prayed. My family is blessed to know you.

I should have listened more to the suicidial signs from her so i could have helped so we could have been best friends forever, but i was too focused on myself to even realize what was going on with her. It even hurts more to not see her for her birthday. To be the bestest friend I could be and help her out of that rut she was in. I wish she could have expressed to me her feelings, i mean, we were best friends ever since we were maybe 3 years old...<br />-Cresa<br />P.S. I'm praying for your cancer treatments.

I wouldn't have thought of it, but 'sacred' is probably the right word to describe the moment and photo.<br /><br />When it comes to story courage, you are my example.
