I know everyone will be terribly upset today and for a good while we will feel a great sadness. Different scenes from Brokeback Mt keep appearing and disappearing in my mind. I'm so sad and even if I tell myself to be thankful for a superb actor to have played a role that gave our community such a great gift, I can't feel anything but grief. But I'm grateful our Bettermost community is here. I'm sending a hug to anyone who needs it... In memory of Heath.

Rayn, you sweet man! Thanks for the hug!
You know, I was thinking the same thing when I heard. For a split second I thought about the tire iron and how my reaction to this was much the same as it was to Jacks death in the movie.
The only difference is this is real in the physical world and we will never see him again outside of dreams and re-runs.
God rest his soul.

A friend e-mailed me to say "so sorry to hear about Heath Ledger, hope you're doing ok."
I thought: "what the hell?" and checked the NY Times, figuring that it would be sober and respectful enough to keep me from cringing.
The friend isn't the sort to make a cruel joke, but I still keep refreshing the news pages, figuring there's got to be some mistake.

I heard about this earlier and I thought it was some sick joke. I am heartbroken.
