Sorry to hear about your girlfriend.

She will be fine with the big man up-stairs looking over her.

Sorry to hear that Dallas. Tell her there is too much to live for. We all go through bad times, but it always gets better. Take care of her and yourself.

First half of solving the problem is having someone there who acually cares about you. Second half is realizing life goes on and to accept bad days as part of life, with good days ahead. Always look forward.

You and Briann will be in our prayers! Give here all the support you can. I'm not sure if it was accidental or not but if it wasn't encourage her to seek help. I kind of know what you are going through. My wife overdosed herself about 15 years ago and I'm lucky to have her today. After seeking help she realized that there was a lot more good things in her life than bad and even found out how to conquer the bad.

A driving instructor told me:
Don't think about the turn you're making; that one is done. You're committed. Lift your head up and plan the next one.

Good advice, and not just about driving. Good luck and it'll get better soon.
