Heath Ledger - the grieving thread
delalluvia:
I'm trying to rearrange my thinking on some of the most anger inducing actions of people in this horrible event:
The ambulance guys - I was absolutely floored when I saw them rush the gurney off the curb and watched Heath's poor head bounce up and down. I was angry at the masseuse. I bitterly complained to my sister, who has also been following the stories and she - of all people - helped me with a different POV:
The rough treatment by the ambulance guys? "You saw all the cameras flashing, they were probably trying to rush him to the ambulance to keep those buzzard paparazzi guys from taking all these morbid pictures."
The masseuse? "Well, Heath hired her. Maybe because she wasn't licensed or trained in CPR she had cheaper rates. Plus according to her, he was already cold when she finally touched him. No CPR in the world was going to save him by then."
I know the stages of grief, and anger is one of them, but like most accidental deaths, there is really no one and nothing to be angry at - except the Fates, the gods - who maybe loved him much more than we - and of course, insensitive photogs and blathering media personalities, but they had nothing to do with - I almost wrote 'Ennis' - Heath's death. You just feel so helpless.

Does anybody else here keep having the experience of going, "WHAT? HEATH LEDGER WHAT?" practically every single time you see the horrible words? I have found out the terrible news over and over again, each time new. Can anyone else understand what I mean?

Absolutely Clarissa - my brain still cannot process 'Heath' and 'dead' in the same sentence. My mind keeps replaying the moment Mike told me about Heath's death right after I got home from work on Tuesday evening. He assumed I knew about it. My mind replays his question, 'you heard Heath Ledger died, right?'. I must have repeated it half a dozen times aloud, along with, "he's what?", but it still didn't sink in. It still does not. So yes, I know exactly what you mean. Total and utter disbelief. My brain won't accept, and neither will my heart.

I feel the same way. Thanks for taking the word "dead" out of the original thread title. It helps. I'd edit out the word in the News thread, too, but it's Phillip's and I'd feel presumptuous. :(
This still does not compute, not at all. :'(
