My twin,Starbuline/Sophie commited suicide about 3 weeks ago. Yes,I am aware that most of you already know this.

I truly loved her,and I was looking forward to meeting her someday. Now,I'll never get that chance...in this lifetime.

I had not talked to her in a month,because I was grounded from the computer and was extremely busy with college. I found out not too long ago from KBABZ.

Let me tell you something: I was going to commit suicide,too. I couldn't take it anymore. But when I saw how much everyone was sad and shocked over her action,I decided "NO". If people are going to miss me that much,then I won't do it. There's GOTTA be a way to get better.

Sophie was a extremely good and awesome person,even if she couldn't see it. I know for sure that she's in Heaven...and one day we will join her.

I love you,my twin Sophie. I love you,wrongplanet.

SpaceCase, I am so grateful you choose to stay with WrongPlanet. And, I do love you. I am still shook by Starbuline's tragic death and I hardly knew her. Usually, I am not sentimental, but her death hit me HARD. I am so sad for you...no words. But, you will need to be strong and maybe you can sort-of be an advocate for Starbuline. I also have been (and am) sometimes very vulnerable so I know what you/she feel and have felt. Maybe, for me, this was why the event was hard to process.

I know you love Starbuline. Maybe her message to you was to stay alive and (in your words) say, 'No.' Go Starbuline!

I had PM KBABZ (he lives in New Zealand) and last week I mailed a box with Russian nesting dollls to him in Starbuline's memory. I had asked Starbuline if she had Russian nesting dolls since they reminded me of her; pretty dolls with layers. She said this image made her very happy! So, although KBABZ will receive the Russian nesting dolls from me in Starbuline's memory, they are also meant for you too. Too bad you and KBABZ live so far apart! Plus, I live in Alaska. Anyway, KBABZ will receive the box, via USPS, by or before November 12th. I wish you could see them too.....I included 2 Russian Orthodox Alaskan card photos too.

Be strong, Spacecase. Losing your twin leave you with a gaping hole in your life......I am sorry. We/I are your friend(s). Do well in college for Starbuline and all of us too!

Thank you for sharing this SpaceCase.

It is heartening for me to see what you wrote, and the fact that you feel comfortable enough with the people here to open up and share those feelings with us.

Starbuline's suicide was a personal journey. It is unfortunate that it ended so tragically for her and those who care so much about her.

You have your own personal journey which I hope will keep you moving forward beyond any despair you feel from time-to-time.
You know that there are people here who have formed a relationship with you, if only through the internet.
This is a place you know that is safe and accepting, caring and available whenever you are able to connect.

Stay with us... okay!? :wink:

I feel glad, Space, because this could well have led to a tragic chain (first Mike, then Sophie, then you, and then most likely Soph). But you saying no, after seeing how shook up everyone is with Star, is the best decision anyone could have ever made.

It's a good thing you chose not to commit suicide. You don't achieve anything by doing so!

I was not aware this had happened. Spacecase, I'm sorry for the pain you are in, and I wish you the best. It is hard to lose a friend.

You need hugs, I hope you don't mind:

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( SpaceCase ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I didn't know Starbuline, but if I did I'm sure I'd know what a wonderful person she was. I'm hoping to drum up support for a sticky post for people to seek and offer places of refuge for people in situations like hers. So far, not one person has even posted - though I have the support of one person in the chatroom.

I don't want to see good people like Starbuline go down the same path... I'll do whatever I can to make sure it doesn't happen
