I am very sorry for your loss John.

I know it's been extremely hard over the loss of your friend Kevin.

Now, this friend is added.

Some measure of comfort, in this heartwrenching time, I do pray for you.

John,

 

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.  I only came across this web site and your article because I was searching for information on Lithium levels.  I read your post, then I went and read Katy's.  It's chilling to read her post and then shortly after 12 hours later, she was gone.  It's so sad.  Her post from that morning was such a cry for help.  I'm sorry that she felt death was her only way out of her illness.  I'll pray for love, peace and acceptance for her friends and family.  Such a loss!

I am at a last for words, John, but nevertheless will say I grieve with you over the death of your beloved friend.  Take care.

I just ran across Katy's death on Sharon's  facebook.  My prayers go with her and her family and extended family at Bipolar connection.  It only goes to show just fragile we all are and that we must stay on top of our Bipolar.
