There is a great loss in this world without you. Your presence was sunshine to all of us who had the pleasure to meet you. We all hope you are at peace and will forever remember your smile.
When I heard that you passed away,
I was hurt, it felt like something inside of me broke, but I wasn't confused, since I was almost in your shoes.
Though there are no words that can really describe how much you mean to me, I'm writing this letter as a feeble attempt to tell you how much I loved you,
I miss you. But I will never judge you for what you did. How could I when I know what it feels like to be suicidal. I know what it feels like to feel trapped and to feel like my life is worthless. I know society judged you for your actions...but I didin't.
We'd spend hours talking about all the crazy stuff that happened to us, about the future - I remember you said you like my poetry and how you told me you were going to write a book, such an amazing day. We also talked about things we'd say are "deep stuff". You were the reason I started writing in the first place, you were my muse, you are the reason I did so well on that boring English competition I didn't even want to go to but you said that I have to and that you believed in me so I went. And you are the reason I decided to become a psychologist, so that I could help you and other people like you that need help, but I guess now I'll never get the chance to do so.
I also made you laugh, didn’t I? I miss your laughter so much, I miss your smile, your silly jokes,... I miss you as my friend and a person. I miss you.
You were always there for me when I needed help. You listened to me as I cried for months after I realised that I'll probably never run again, no matter how silly the thing I was crying about was, you listened. You assured me you’d always be there when I needed you. You were my rock as the life I had planned for myself fell apart. And I thank you for that. I just wish I could have been the cushion on which you could have rested your problems. I wish every day that you never felt that you had to take your own life to escape. I know it couldn’t have been an easy decision, especially when I know that depression overwhelmed you.
I wish I could have helped you change your mind. Since i can't change the fact that you're not coming back at least i can say that I'm happy that the last thing i said to you was "I love you"
~ You probably don't know me, but I just wanted to write her one last letter since I did that all the time.~
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. The Bible gives us a wonderful hope for the future. In John 5:28,29 it says "Do not be amazed at this for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." We can have confidence in all the Bible's promises.
Lauralei, you were one of my best, most creative and funny art students. Absolutely unforgettable! I'll never forget the day you came to class as Batman, never breaking character You had such potential, I'm so sorry we'll never get to see what could have been
This isn’t the best picture of lauralei but it’s like the only one I have and I just wanted to say again I love you so much ❤️
We love you you will be so missed!
