Heath Ledger - the grieving thread

Less attention-getting, perhaps, though.

Agreed.
Sorry it had to be such a sad occasion to bring you back to us, Friend. You've been missed.

"Where is the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?
They have passed like rain on the Mountain,
like wind in the meadow.
The days have gone down in the West
behind the hills into shadow.
How did it come to this?"
The poem is by JRR Tolkien in Lord of the Rings, as distilled by Peter Jackson. I thought it was very fitting for my emotions just now.

God bless BetterMost. I love you guys. Heath, I'll miss you so much; I've never experienced this from a movie in my life. I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet you and tell you in person.

Yup, me too, as I can't get on here at work but CAN get on IMDB. Although to be fair there are 99 times more people devastaed.
You know, I've been thinking, what would Heath make of this? It's all I've heard or seen in the news all day - we all know how much he hated being in the limelight. Do you think he's happy to see people mourning or embarassed and wanting everyone to stop?
I still can't believe it. So sad. :(

At the time the stretcher left the house, Heath had already left his body - he wasn't there, he wasn't in that bag. His physical form is something that we grieve over, but it isn't him.
That is what I think, at least.

I agree, Bel. Thanks for sharing.

And yet I couldn't sleep. Some people with depression just sleep all the time - I was on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Well, we've certainly been hearing that Heath was having trouble sleeping. Insomnia must be a horrible thing. :(
