I Will Miss You @Lauralemons
I'm really in shock right now, While I knew my friend Laura was struggling a lot, I was happy for her! I knew that she was finally able to start going to doctor appointments, And Steemit was helping her pay bills. This was so unexpected and heart breaking.
Laura has always been such a great friend to me. I remember seeing her art randomly on Facebook, And I loved her art, So I added her as a friend all creepily. Hoping she'd accept my request so that We could discuss art!
Of course, she accepted, and we've been talking ever since!
I always admired Lauras Creative projects! Like holy cow! She came up with the coolest stuff, and made the cutest little drawings for her shirts! They are so unique.
We told each other about business opportunities, And I got her to join Steemit! We also showed each other shirt designs and got each other opinions! As we both were working on building a T-Shirt store! We even talked about all the things were going to do, When we were "filthy rich" And how we would enjoy life having what ever we wanted! I was excited to see all of our shirt ideas take off :(
Even though I have never met her in person. I chatted with her on Facebook a lot! And she helped me through a lot of rough times that I was dealing with earlier this year.
While I didn't fully understand everything she was going through, I did my best to give her emotional support, And help her find more opportunities to better her life!
I'm so shocked and confused about this. Things seemed to be getting better, and this caught me by surprise :(
Even though I didn't even know her in person. It's amazing how close you can get to someone just online! I miss her already :( I Was hoping one day we'd be able to travel together. Or at least meet in person.
It breaks my heart so much! Deep down I'm really hoping that this is some sort of really sick joke.
It's so sad how random suicide is. We all knew she had made attempts. But I really thought with her cutting back on alcohol, going to those tough, but helpful doctor appointments, And her really focusing on her dietary needs that she was crawling out of this hole she got stuck in for so long.
I really wish I could of helped her more.
She even made this cute drawing for me :(
Laura I will miss you! I really hope you are with Befnie! Hopefully with nothing holding you back <3
I'm glad she isn't suffering anymore! But at the same time I wish she were still here to help change the world with her art!!
I Hope one day I can see her again!
She was a fighter. It's beautiful to see so many people who knew her express how she touched their lives. I never got to meet her in person but we talked a lot. Thank you for posting. All I want right now is to tell the people I love how important they are to me, and connect with other people who remember her exactly as amazing as she will always be. So thank you. Love you Laura, we miss you
Right? She made a big difference, Even just through the internet. I wish we all could have met her in person :( I also wish I appreciated her more! It's sad how we sometimes take people for granted.

thanks for support
I had tears in my eyes when I heard about this , I hope she knows how much everyone loves her. We never know how much we love someone until they are gone .. may she RIP. Steemit has lost a great asset
Right? I'm so heartbroken and confused right now :( I keep hoping someone will be like "Just kidding". And all of it won't be real.
Reality really hurts ..
It does :(
R.I.P
mam i agree with you

Oh my gosh, this makes me so sad. I found myself holding my breath while reading your post, in hopes it was not about what I thought it was. It saddens me deeply to hear another soul has been lost this way. I will ever be grateful for her motivations to keep trying on my posts, and to make a better life. Just a few days ago I was going to repost a post I had done on suicide. I don't know if it would have mattered. I wish there had been some way for all her friends here, to keep her going. My time was short on knowing her, but will miss her very much. My condolences to you and the Steemit family, while we all try to process this. @lauralemons may you R.I.P
Right? When I found out, I was sitting there hoping that I would read a "Just kidding" Or something.
Who knows. I feel like many of us are left wondering if we could have done something to prevent it from happening. Maybe if more people contacted her last night. But sadly you never know with these things. And it really sucks.
I agree, and the not knowing is always the hardest. I hope to God that no one ever uses this as a prank post. I truly wish there had been more we could have done, even if it meant someone be with her via Steem all night. Just one night may have pulled her through. It saddened me when I had read about her struggles in her posts. Am sure she is saddened, to see how sad she has made us all. The struggle is real, when people care about you.

Laura was one of the few steemians who helped me out when I first got started here. We always engaged fantastically on posts, and while I did not get to know her as much as others in the community did, every comment, every post she made was a part of herself.
She will live on in the blockchain.
As I said in alexbeyman's post, in the comments, I would love to see us band together and (once we're done grieving), build a lauralemons tribute / art prize for steemit as a way of honouring her memory.
Something large, something special, that we can all get behind. Something annual, maybe, for this very day, in a year.
What a lovely idea. And "she will live on in the blockchain" - a powerful concept.

This is so sad. :( I actually found her on Steemit and talked to her because of the picture she drew of you above! I too was inspired by her artwork, and I wanted to chat with her. While I didn't know her as well, I learned of the constant pain she lived in. Super sorry to hear that we lost her. She will be missed.

Im very sorry to hear the bad news from our fellow steemian. It saddens me to hear this situations as i have encountered a lot of a similar situation. I really dont know who to blame if its healthcare ir supports system or psych meds. All i know is this has been happening everywhere and there must be a better way to cope with depression, other than going to a family doctor or a psych doctor to evaluate you in a matter of 10 mins and would recommend you to take a certain med thats suppose to cure you of depression or whatever type of mental illness. When its a fact that we are body as unique individuals our brains a wired differently but as a community we all have the same goal and we all want to be loved. I may not know her personally but i wish there was enough time and enough support to go through tough times

I'm heartbroken. Laura was such a good artist and friend to many. It's a very very sad day.
I know! Gosh! I wish she would of reached out! So many people cared so much about her! I know we all would have jumped in to help.
Argh! getting teary reading this. A beautiful lady in a lot of pain. Much love to you and anyone else affected by this. I feel like her spirit is free, though that doesn't make it any easier for those left behind. <3 <3 <3
Right? I really hope that there is something better after this and she is relaxed and enjoying whatever it is!
