another passing of a friend
Hopefully this is an appropriate forum to discuss, as I'm sure many here have experienced the same or similar. I recently got back in touch with an ex girlfriend/fwb. we went on a few dates like 12 years ago. we drifted apart, she got married and then i got married.
randomly, she adds me on ye olde Facebook. we chat a bit, get caught up on life. she tells me about her marriage fizzling out and ended horribly. I commiserate, gripe about how the ex of mine that she met went absolutely off the rails. we talked about the weather.
she sent me a short 3 word message yesterday, nothing terrible profound. but totally her voice.
and then I find out today that it was all apparently too much.
she's gone now. I've reread the messages. no cry for help. she was getting support from mutual friends. but now she's gone, and I'm at a loss. my wife(who knows the whole story) is being supportive. but I'm feeling... numb? blank? it just seems like we're hitting the age where the random passings are adding up at an alarming rate.
anyways, thanks for letting me type this.
