Yeah. I'll probably never be the same without her.
Not gonna argue with you there. You got a connection to someone seemingly important to you severed in a very permanent way and that will change things. You lost someone you cared about and by extension lost the piece of yourself that existed within her if that makes any sense in your own personal worldview.
She won't be able to reach you any longer or visa-versa, but you still have the memories, shared experiences and a bit of her within yourself. You don't need to doubt yourself or dwell on how things could have gone, just know that she helped make you who you are, even if it was in small ways.
I don't know how close you guys were, but I have been pretty messed up by suicides of folks I wasn't even particularly close to so there really isn't some kind of "bond threshold" required to have a strong emotional response, especially to something this emotionally complex. Sorry you are suffering and I hope you are able to get this all sorted out with yourself as painlessly as possible. I really don't want to come off like I'm just posting a bunch of bullshit, but I really am sorry man. Not much I can really do for you but there's my two cents.
