Going back through my unread emails, the last one was a few days before she died. It really disturbed me for a while.
The fact of the matter is though, she was an emotional wreck before I met her. She was a victim of child abuse and had many problems. Still, I can't help but feel that maybe I could have helped.

I was a in a similar situation a few years ago with an ex and the emails. She was probably just on the edge of offing herself, and she wanted something I couldn't (wouldn't?) offer her... I think she's fine now, though there probably isn't a person in this world she hates more now. Anyways... to flameswin, I'm sure more then a few of us have been in the situation you were in, and just had to walk away because it was too much... I don't think you should feel obligated here.
I also agree, suicide is selfish.
