I did not know him, but his death sent a wave of restless grief over me for days. I did meet his friends, who left a modest plaque. Your memorial essay is lovely, compassionate and wise, and brings the dignity and fitting closure he deserves. Thank you, Jess. M.S… ?

Your love and acceptance of your friend is palpable in this post. And your description of your friend is hauntingly familiar to me, as I'm close with someone who has faught this fight his whole life. He's still on the planet in his body, and I think he's going to stick it out at this point, but I realized long ago that I really had no right to ask him to do so. I think your attitude is spot on. Sending you lots of love. I’m so sorry for your loss. Your love and acceptance of your friend is palpable in this post.

I have a special friend who might be leaving me too, and I am trying not to be scared or sad. what a beautiful understanding you have come to…of course it must be difficult, but now he has the gift of being unmanifest and free, and we can have no sorrow for that.

It has been a terrible shock, sadness and horror for his parents and his brother and friends. He was almost too sensitive for this world. I just don't think he could stand the pain anymore. He was also very creative and chose very creative (but non revealing) ways to say good-bye to his friends. He wanted to do what he did. He made no attempt to tell people what was on his mind. He just couldn't deal with it anymore. He and Jess loved each other very much as friends; she was a rock for him; spiritual and there for him. Thank you Jess.

I am a stranger to you, but thanks to your blog you feel like a friend to me. I have a deep respect for your choice of words and blogging tactfully. This is not an easy thing to do and you said what you wanted to say beautifully. Thank you for sharing this difficult story. Like many, I also had a beautiful friend who ended her struggle here in a horrible way. This post was a good reminder to me that passing judgment on others is the same as abusing them. We need to be more careful not to think we are all living the same life and dealing with the same challenges. Life is all about balance so your friends peace was exchanged with others pain. I am so sorry for your loss. Jessica, I have been reading your blog for a few years and this is the first time I am commenting.
