Sometimes people have to hit rock bottom before they get help. She has made her choice and she needs to deal with the consequences of her choices, both good and bad. I know it's tough to see someone you care about hurting, but you can't help her if you're being pulled under too.

Checking in on her could be doing more harm than good. I say, give her one final note... "I'll always care. If you need anything, just ask." and then go dark. You need to move on with your life. Forever is a long time. If you still have hope that she'll come back, that's fine. But right now, you need to let her be, and concentrate on you. GAL
