Discussion For those who lost close ones: did their parting note make you feel better?

[whybother2002]

I was wondering if I should left a message for a friend I really like, something will probably speak close to their heart. But I'm really worried: is it some sort of emotional terrorism? I don't want this person to even receive the news because I'm worried she will be sad. I don't want to be a painful memory. Should I just "ghost" her (in this case literally)? She will then live her life not knowing that I CTB, but that I decided to leave the internet. She will probably forget me easily then, after all we've just been friends for some months and I know that she means much more to me than the opposite. It's sad that it come to this. I love this person, I want to talk to her and, hell, even meet her someday. But life got in my way. I bought the SN and I'm making the plans already. It's over.
