A person I have never met committed suicide, but when I look at their myspace comments I cry & I

I don't cry every time I read them, just sometimes. I didn't know that the person who died died until after their death. She overdosed on purpose and she had tried to od two other times before the time she succeeded...she was a great person and very creative. Sometimes when I think about her death I think that the world is a worse place without her. When I look at her myspace, I almost feel like she's still alive , if you were to look at her myspace you'd see how happy she seemed by what she wrote and her picture captions. Sometimes I think about how I'd like to send her sister an email and talk about how her sister's death has affected me, how I think the world has lost a wonderful person, and that I'm here if she would want to talk to me. Would that be a bad idea? The girl who died had online friends who emailed her sister but I'm not sure if complete strangers have emailed her...I've thought about the girls death off and on for over a year. Some days I do all day.

I think sending her an email expressing your condolences would be okay, but don't expect her to take up your offer on talking with you about it. Losing a sister would be a very traumatic thing and hopefully she's relying on her family and close friends. It's very nice of you to be that concerned, but be careful not to let those thoughts overwhelm you. There is good in this world.

I don't think that would be a bad idea. I think that may actually help her sister to hear such kind words from someone who didn't know her sister, but realizes what she brought into the world.

If I were the person you were thinking about e-mailing, I'd be very appreciative to receive an e-mail like that from you! Just my opinion! :-)

I don't know how old you are, but I think you should talk with a parent, a counselor or a therapist about your feelings on this situation. You are very concerned with this person and you may be taking some of your feelings and expressing them through the pain you feel from her death. I know that may not sound like it makes a whole lot of sense, but a psychologist, psychiatrist, or counselor may be able to diagnose whether you are suffering from more than just some sadness from losing this person. A year is a very long time for someone you never knew. I hope you feel better and I hope you talk to somone about it all.

The sister would probably love to know that her sister had an impact on the world. She might take you up on wanting to talk about. I would, however, stay shy of talking to much on the negative aspects its had on your life (ie the crying). Make sure to talk more about how its made you appriciate life more and stuff than how much it bums you out, because too much talk about the down stuff and she may feel like you're taking away her right to be really really bummed.
