How very sad.
ReplyDeleteI read the article...and yes, this woman had friends & lovers & had chosen to distance herself from family.
She worked, she had dreams.
Not so different from many of us.
Each person's life is complicated & their thoughts & feelings even moreso.
A life that we cannot judge or analyze.
I just feel very sad that she died not only alone...but for so long.
It left me shaking my head. It shouldn't be so easy to just slip away.
