One of my online friends passed away earlier this year, and I just found out about it. One of her friends telegram-ed me about the news. She was a Russian who's outspoken about the war, and also seems to be struggling against depression. I have no idea how she passed, and I can't bear to ask.
Apparently I'm one of the people who communicated with her in the last few months of her life. I'm bad at words, so I try to send funny animal videos, and occasional hug emoji to make people feel better. I hope whatever I did could alleviate some of her sorrows in her final moments.
As someone who has struggled with depression I just want to tell you that if she genuinely wanted to end it there was nothing you could've done. In that state you just push everyone away.
And also that in such dark moments receiving a message from a friend and getting something like a kitten video does make a difference and can give a lot of relief even if only for a few moments.

Hi sub can I ask, did you play games together?

we did not.
🫂 I hope you're doing better
Be sure it did. The words don't matter, feeling you're not alone is everything.
