My r*pist died... (TW)

I found out today that my r*apist died last week. It's brought up some very mixed feelings, that person was a very close friend of mine in high school and the day she assaultedme when we were 16, she came out as a trans woman and used that as a defense against my allegations and even tried to flip the script saying that I assaulted her. We cut contact but she continued to harass me online and would show up at my work. She was addicted to heroin for a little while, I didn't keep up with her doings after I moved away, but I wonder if she ended up overdosing which lead to her death. She would have turned 24 next week.

Anyways, finding out this news has made me feel a whole lot and I'm considering calling out of work tonight because I'm feeling very emotional and a bunch of very triggering memories are coming to light. I'm not really looking for any advice or words of sympathy I just wanted to get this off my chest.
