be self protective
you do not owe anyone information or an explanation or details or anything else that you don't want to share. i found i told people too much in the beginning, shared too much as i was flailing my way through those amazingly difficult first days...
people will ask you things that you cannot believe they will ask
how she did it, did you find her, did she leave a note, if you knew she was going to do it....
my sister gave me the best advice-- come up with a simple line or two that is non-negotiable. memorize it. use it to give yourself time to decide what you want to share and what you don't and with whom.
"i am sure you'll understand that this is just too painful for me to talk about"
