Thank you everyone for your kindness and suggestions, and loving compassion; sorry if I come across as formal.

I received a letter from the lawyer acting for my best, albeit late friend. Unknown to me she was being treated for terminal cancer and had died peacefully.


This came as a shock because only a few days ago the coroner phoned suggesting she'd ended her life. The lawyer apologised, stating that a mistake had been made, patient notes being mislaid and in fact my poor friend had passed away peacefully at a hospice.


I was furious with the coroner and his office, but maman said mistakes can happen and really, I should be at least relieved my dear friend had not taken her life after all.


Furthermore, the lawyer stated that my dear friend had left me her entire estate, including a sea facing apartment.


I've had to leave all this with maman. It's been too much to take in. I didn't even know my dear friend had terminal cancer! Otherwise I'd have gone to visit her. Chilling, but she was only in her mid-20s. How I can put closure to her death when she hadn't even let me see her?


We grew up together. Now she's gone.



Maman said my friend had not suffered pain. I don't know what to believe. But she's at peace now. But gone.
