Death of an LJ Friend
Apr. 18th, 2019 06:53 amI found out yesterday afternoon that an LJ friend, tamnonlinear, committed suicide three years ago.
I didn't know her well. We never corresponded outside of comments on each other's blogs, but she was always a cheerful presence. She loved the ballad Tam Lin, and managed a site that was a treasure house of different versions of the tale, art, commentary, and etc.
I found out because I saw a Tam Lin post on Tumblr yesterday, which made me think of her. I googled "tamnonlinear" and saw a Tumblr account. I also saw an LJ memorial tribute entry. I was stunned. Her last Tumblr posts were queued before she took her own life. One was a goodbye note and one was a plea for someone to adopt her beloved cats.
I pray that she has found peace and healing beyond the Veil.
