I know not everyone here knew maple but those who did I have some bad news, last night she was deeply depressed, her friends tried to help her but to no avail. Maple passed away. Use this post to remember her.
I just got done having a long conversation with her mom, on valentines day I bought her a pair of earings, they are going to be buried with her... I also had asked if I could have one of her plushies to remember her.
She was a sweet girl and a good friend. I know she made me smile on several occasions. She will be sorely missed.
I hate to see someone get so low that they don't feel like they have any other way out. I just hope she's found some peace now.
I didn't know who she was but it's always awful to hear that someone was so depressed that they chose suicide as the only option. I am truly sorry for your loss.
In the words of Vash the Stampede: "Tell you the truth, I disapprove of suicide more than anything." While he wasn't a "friend", per se---more an acquaintance than anything else--- I have known at least one person who ended up taking his life. And there've been times where I, too, have contemplated what would happen if I suddenly... "ceased" to exist. It's never pleasant to think about... if anything, it frightens me. Sharing consoling words has never been something I've been particularly good at, JoR, but I hope to at least share this: it's my wish that those who knew Maple are able to talk about the good things that she brought into their lives, as opposed to dwelling too long on anything negative, and that someday they will be able to move on. And to a person that I and others never got the chance to meet: May Your Eternal Sleep Be Forever Pain-Free.
Awww that's terrible. I'm very sorry for your loss. Never really talked to Maple, she seemed pretty nice. *offers hugs*
Probably not the best time to tell all of you but maple was transgender, why am I telling you this. I just didn't want anyone to be confused when in their funding they call her sean and not sara. Please support the family if you can: https://www.gofundme.com/help-for-the-leonlansdowne-family
Well, damn. This... I don't know what to say. On the one hand, I barely knew her during her time here. On the other, having lost a family member who took his own life, there is probably no worse way to go than suicide. I really, really wish I could donate to the GoFundMe, but since I barely have enough money to buy food, I shall simply wish her family and friends good luck. Rest well, Maple. I barely knew ye.
If any of you want to have your words reach her family please sign the guestbook http://obit.parkerfuneralhomes.com/...1&listing=Current&clientid=parkerfuneralhomes
Unfortunately I don't have the funds to donate as I'm still recovering from my health issues and don't have a job right now but I'll sign the guestbook. Not that the family will know who I am but I feel it's my way to support.
Well, its thursday. Today she will be cremated and spread in her favorite places then eventually the rest of her ashes will be used to plant a MAPLE tree. How sweet of her family. SHe truly loved nature. I'm sure this is what she would want
Her service is in an hour, I will be having an hour of silence for her. I hope that some of you willl join me
The funeral is over. I had a nap after it was over and all I could do was dream about her. I don't think I can ever get over this.
I knew Maple for my part. We did not speak often, but there was an understanding between us. Call it acquaintance by association if you will. What to say, now that we are where we are? She had a great fondness for nature. Alas, I don't think nature has the capacity to reciprocate.
I remember meeting Maple for the first time back when she joined the site. The two of us never really spoke that often, but I had respect for her honestly being who she was. I wouldn't say that we barely knew each other, as we were more acquaintances if anything else, but I liked and respect her as a member of this community and the joy that she has given the wonderful people on this site. As someone who has considered suicide past and only recently got through depression, I cannot imagine the thoughts and feelings that must have been going through the minds of everyone right now. I sincerely wish for my utmost condolences upon you and Maple's family. She will be missed.
