Learn from the mistakes of others

katherine was an old friend. i've been, i was, her medical guardian.

i met her at law school. she was beginning to faulter. i helped her through a semester.

somehow wound up being the person she decided she trusted the most.

i won't go into details, but she was trying to deal with psychological and physical trauma piled on top of schizophrenia and some other difficulties.

right now, i'm in the numb place.

unfortunately, not so much a shock as disappointing.

she had a near miss a while back, and seemed to be responding well to a different regime.

i have my suspicions that her mother couldn't help herself.

particularly since i've been told i'm not welcome - family (read over-controlling mother) only want's family involved.

unfortunately for her, there'll be an inquest. the shit'll hit the fan then.

thanks.

there is really nothing much more that need be said.

sadness will come. right now there is emptiness.

haven't told many people. in fact, here is the only place i've even mentioned it.

when the sadness comes, then it will be time to talk.
