if all yous ppl new she was like this why didnt anyone tell her doctor ............. i recently read on a post that she told some one the way she was going to do it that night WHY THE HELL DIDNT THEY CALL SOMEONE AND HELP HER
Brittany, we talked her into going to the hospital, several times. She needed professional help, she knew it, we knew it, and she went to the hospital to get it. For some reason - I don't know why - the hospital kept sending her home.
I helped her to get a referral form for a Mood Disorders program at a hospital in Hamilton. The form was faxed to her while she was at "Safe Beds" and she brought it to her doctor to fill out. She told me that it was sent in to the hospital in Hamilton and that she was on the waiting list for that program.
Krystle's online friends did not have direct access to her doctors, but we supported her and encouraged her in getting the professional help that she needed. She went to the hospital to get that help. For some reason, they sent her home. I hope that your family can find out why, because I sure don't know why they would.
brittany, ellen called the police when it was realized that krystle was in more trouble than ever before. calling the police, to go check on krystle, was the only option any of us had ... and only the people that knew krystle's address and phone number could have called for help - and ellen did. i wish to god that it had not been too late ... she called as fast as she could.
i am so sorry that you and your family lost your sister like this. i wouldn't wish it on anyone as i lost my step-sister in the same way.
please know that everyone did everything they could to help your sister and we are all hurting, too.

Fact is, Krystle and friends DID tell her doctor and doctors, and they did so many times.
Friends were trying to save her life, and Krystle was trying to save her own. There were many phone calls.
It's not that people who knew failed to act. Action was taken, and people advocated for Krystle at their own expense, on their own time, because they cared about her and it was the right thing to do.
What you need to understand is that despite Krystle's efforts and the efforts of her friends, doctors and "the system" failed to listen.
I'm sorry for your loss. This is a loss for everyone.
I know you are hurting and need to blame someone and honestly, I'd like to say that no one is to blame but that is untrue, though it isn't any of us
( ... )
Where were you when all of this was going on? Where was the family? Please realize that blaming others will not bring her back. I am sorry to have to respond to your vaarious posts this way. I am truly sorry for your, and your family's, loss.
I am sure that the anonymous commenter above meant well, but after this kind of loss, the people who are left behind are already haunted by more than enough unanswerable questions.
It's easy for everyone to get so defensive over what we did or did not do that we disrespect the pain and the grief that others are suffering. Thank you for that reminder.
