T/W: Su*c*de + d*ath
My name is Whitney I am Kami’s sister. This is the most difficult thing I have ever had to write or share. Details will follow after the X. This user is no longer active or available for content. She would like to thank and apologize to her readers.

On February 11th my sister and niece were in a brutal accident coming home. A semi crushed the car. My niece did not last a full 24 hours before being pronounced d*ad. She was seven years old. My sister did not handle the loss of her daughter well but we naively thought she was going to be okay.
Monday my sister was found after taking her own life. She was thirty one years old. I miss my sister and my niece. I feel selfish for feeling betrayed and at a loss now that my sister is gone. It has taken a couple of days for me to follow through on the notes she has left behind. There are many social media accounts, monetary accounts and personal contacts my sister left instructions for.
I considered not bothering to update places like this. What is the point I thought. I lost my sister who was my best friend. It clearly is important to her though and after reflecting with our parents I am fulfilling her request. In her letter my sister expressed intense regret for unfinished projects. Most of which I am learning about for the first time.
All I can say is if you or someone you know is struggling with depression or thoughts of su*c*de seek help. You never know when it can be too much. I understand in my heart that my sister could not see a world without her daughter. I wish she knew she left us to face a world without her.
As of now I do not know if I need to shut this account down or not. Follow the rules of the road. That extra three minutes waiting for the light instead of running it would have saved two lives. It can wait. Kami’s final note is “you matter”. I guess that’s irony.
