I am so saddened reading all these comments about how loved she was. I didn't know who she was until today, but it's just so heartbreaking that she isn't here to see and understand how loved she really was. I'm not articulating this very well. I just wish she could see this outpouring of love and respect - but I guess if knowing you are loved is enough to keep you alive, many people would never kill themselves. Suicide is such a tragedy.
Jenna, in your experience, was depression a common occurrance in the modelling industry? I'm curious to know if perhaps her career contributed indirectly to her suicide. To be a bit more clear, I mean to say, are there any people looking out for the welfare of these girls or are they totally on their own?
Fame, beauty, acclaim, attention. It's all so many kids want these days, above everything else. This is a tragedy, but I hope it will at least show that those things can't buy happiness, and that suicide and depression can touch anyone.

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Yeah, I did...so, so sad. I was already crying at work because of stupid little things, now I feel horrible for being so emotional over something so petty.
Ergh. That Kate Moss quote is unfortunate. It sounds like a version of how it feels when you don't really eat..."empty" = skinny. Which is pretty close to how you rationalize avoiding food in an ED.
Plus, it's just not true. Food has a pleasurable function, as well as being necessary to live. It's okay to eat because you like how it tastes, or it makes you feel good, or because you want to. Those are all component of "normal" eating. It's when anything gets compulsive that there's a problem.
Also, if your mood is dependent on your size then something is off.

Whatever was eating away at her, may she have found peace.
