(134,034 posts)31. My dear friend, holding you in love and light, sending vibes to ease
some of the pain, on every level. You are such a good and loving soul, please be kind to yourself. I can tell you from experience that even kindness and caring, and even physical presence, may not be enough to stop someone who is determined to kill themselves. We carry the burden of those failures, and it is a heavy one indeed. But we are neither omniscient, nor omnipotent, so we must give ourselves a little grace.
