Here it is what happened.
I joined the Companions of Jorrvaskr and completed their quests, so i can ask one of them as a follower whenever i like.
I start the quest of Boethia, which requires you to sacrifice a follower who trusts you;i tried with a random NPC follower from the Dark Brotherhood, but he doesn't approach the column of the sacrifice (even thought he says he is going to do it).
So i have to choose another one, and i pick Ria from the Companions (the most boring and unuseful of them), and she works for the quest and is killed....only some time later she is back in Jorrvaskr, alive and kicking!!!!!!!!!!!!
I take her along on another quest and kill her again (i really didn't like her).
This time she doesn't come back, she isn't obviously following me, and no other follower in the game agrees to join me, they all say "you already have company" but i don't.
I think it's a bug that happens with characters that give quests or otherwise have parts in scripted quests. They have some form of coding that effectively makes them unkillable. Try killing the Thieves Guild, or a Jarl, and no matter how hard you hit them or what you use, they will never, ever, ever die.
I was playing on my Orc after finishing the Companions quest-line and oh hey that guy that got killed by the Silver Hand was back and offering me quests. What the ....?
My only recommendation is to go back to a save before you sacrificed her a second time and 'dismiss' her.
Don't think i kept any of those saves, could look into them but i noticed the bug much time later as i usually don't use followers.
The only one i used from time to time is Vorstag as he is the spouse of my bosmer girl, and a good tank, but he refuses to join me also.
I sacrificed Eola, who follows you after completing the Namira Daedric quest.
I killed her during the Namira quest when she said i had to eat the priest after luring him in the cave

But if you eat him, you get Namira's Ring that lets you eat anyone for the rest of the game, significantly boosting your health and stamina. So what's a little cannibalism for a powergamer? ;-)

I just don't like the idea, and i know the rewards for any daedric quest (Prima games official Skyrim strategy guide); and my lvl 52 (for now) bosmer girl archer/thief is actually playing the front line tank herself thanks to the newly crafted set of dragon scale armor, all pieces double enchanted with a damage output about 70 (legendary glass longsword) or 105 (legendary glass bow) and she has to grow in power much more yet......so i think i'm powergaming enough even without the ring on Namira ;)
edit:forgot; armor rating around 400-410 and counting, not bad for a light armor

I did the exact same thing. Then put the Ebony Mail on my companion (I played a mage).
But I never used the ring. Too disturbing to think about, even in a fantasy game.
I never used followers but had a similar bug, Skjor died during the companion quest and later he was back in Jorvaskr
Skjor dies as a scripted event, so he died for me too, but he stayed dead everafter.Not that i really cannot play without a follower, playing a thief/assassin/archer my bosmer works better by herself.
On a sidenote: anyone else finds the Markarth quest No one escapes Cidhna mine ridiculous? It took me five minutes to escape that mine prison, you get the impression that the forsworn inside there were just waiting for you to be trown with them to escape.
Ok solved it :)
Had to use the "resurrect" command console after targeting Ria's corpse.
She came back to life so i could talk to her and confirmed that the game was counting her as still following me :(
Vorstag is a great guy to sacrifice to Boethiah.

Maybe next PC :)
I had a different bug in the orcish-daedric quest where the people you are supposed to talk to get the quest were killed by monsters
