I could probably give you some of my own stories for your research, lol (well, not the potential suicide part).<br /><br />Have a great weekend!<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596586419077019479.post-52452375330446508372013-09-25T23:10:55.215-07:002013-09-25T23:10:55.215-07:00I happen to have a best friend called Sarah who is...I happen to have a best friend called Sarah who is always the best at cheering me up - mostly by bitching out the stupid men I've dealt with in my lief. :P It really does help.<br /><br />Of course, I've never even been tempted to take too many pills, so I can't really relate to this MC. Still, I can relate to the extreme need for besties!Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596586419077019479.post-22409717604219202102013-09-24T13:56:18.351-07:002013-09-24T13:56:18.351-07:00Dear Sally,

Love the details of Sarah's husband making dinner and staying out of the way while Sarah spoke heart to heart with Roslyn. When you are depressed it is important to take care of the basics - to have a good home cooked meal is the best beginning of her healing process.<br /><br />I think you must have a lot of experience with helping others to know what the right thing to do is in such circumstances. You have made Sarah do the right thing, say thew right words!<br /><br />I'm impressed.<br /><br />As the other commenters before me, I would like to say that, yes, girlfriends can help if you are down in the dumps, but not just any girlfriend, you need someone with good sense and a good heart, like your character, Sarah. Unfortunately, women can also be mean and cruel to other women. <br /><br />Thanks for your kind comments about my story. I will revise and edit it when I get the time. I want my story to have a happy ending. It will not end like a Kafka-story!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Anna<br /><br /><a href="http://annas-adornments.blogspot.se/2013/09/write-edit-publish-challenge-for.html" rel="nofollow">Anna's W-E-P-Challenge for September: Moving on...</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596586419077019479.post-72004557071629918772013-09-23T09:49:48.253-07:002013-09-23T09:49:48.253-07:00Women certainly can't do without their girlfri...Women certainly can't do without their girlfriends.

Great word pictures. You kept my attention, wondering if she was going to 'do it', then relief when the pills were swept off the table. Love the way Sarah helped her through. Girlfriends are what every girl needs, no matter what the age. Girlfriends get you. You definitely fulfilled the criteria for the prompt MOVING ON. Loved the intertextuality too, with the text messages. <br /><br />Thank you for posting for WEP. Your support is much appreciated. (I got your message that you'd posted at 1am, but had to get a little shuteye.)<br /><br />DeniseDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596586419077019479.post-84439279599603748352013-09-20T15:37:24.155-07:002013-09-20T15:37:24.155-07:00That was wonderful!
