I'm having a hard time coming to terms with this. Toying with the idea of going to her funeral but I have work. Just feel like crying. Just still in shock. Just feel really guilty about her death and I wasn't properly there for her.

Just to let people know, there is a fundraising page in memory of Katie, with money going to two mental health charities close to her heart. Even if you are unable to donate financially, you may still like to visit the page to read the very moving tribute.
To be honest (please bear with me) I often felt frustrated by Katie's posts but I actually think that was because I saw something of me in her and I was somehow transferring my frustrations with myself on to her, unfairly. I was truly saddened to hear of her death. Thanks for posting that link Jenna, it was a very moving tribute and is well worth a read. My thoughts are with her family and friends.
Don't worry auragrace. I can't afford much either. The main thing is that you donated. That's why I put my amount down as anonymous as I felt embrassed at the amount I gave.

The link wasn't put up to make people donate or feel like they must or feel guilty. It was put up if people wanted to and as a tribute to her from her family.
I didn't always have an easy relationship with Katie but I valued her contribution on RYL and was really saddened to here the news. Seeing this thread makes me wish she could see people's thoughts and how loved she was.

I've had your candle burning besides me today and your advice keeps me company. I miss you a lot.
The fundraising page link had a lovely tribute to share, I think a lot of people would like to read even if they didn't donate. It's not about the amount if you do, anyway.
over a month late, but sending love to everyone. I knew a bit of Katie, i saw here posts on here through the years. I hope now she is happy and that those left on earth dont feel like they are responsible or could have done more etc.
The BRAVEST thing
I ever did was CONTINUING MY LIFE when I wanted to die.
I did not know that Katie passed away and I am in shock. She was such a kind and caring member of our community. My thoughts are with those missing her, we will miss her here.
Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted.
I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside. I tried groups, didn't work out just made my depression a lot worse.
