Heath Ledger - the grieving thread

Bring him, O Lord God, at last awakening,
into the house and gate of heaven,
to enter into that gate and dwell in that house where there shall be
no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light;
no noise nor silence, but one equal music;
no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession;
no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity...
Farewell Heath, I felt I knew you like a friend; thank you for giving so generously of yourself.
Rayn

Thank you, Rayn, for your beautiful, comforting message. :'(
Sandy:
A Scot's Farewell
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no tears in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone
It’s all a part of the master plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friend we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me … but let me go …
Rayn:
You're welcome Kerry, and thank you for helping me deal a bit more with the process.

I've just watched Brokeback Mountain.....one of the cable movie stations is showing five of Heath's movies today....
Earlier I watched "10 Things I Hate about You"......and all I could see was this beautiful young man, so full of life, full of future...a smile that was so wide it seemed to go from one ear to the other...what a lovely lovely young man.
Even though I have a well worn copy of the dvd of BBM, I wanted to watch it on TV.....I think because I knew that there were others out there watching it at the same time.....for some a repeat viewing, and for some, a first viewing....and I was hoping that some of those people out there watching it with me, would get the message, get the same feeling I got two years ago.....I knew it must be happening to someone, maybe many, out there, I just knew.
This time, though, when I watched it, it was always on my mind, that Heath was now gone...
I actually looked at things, and saw things in the movie in a way that I had never seen them before that related to how I am feeling NOW, TODAY.
I felt the frustration that Jack was feeling, as he tried to cling on to Ennis, hanging on to the few moments he shared with him, and the emptiness he felt when it was time to say good-bye. After the dozy embarace scene, when Ennis said, "Ive got to go now"....I wanted to yell, "no no dont go"and as Jack watched him leave, I felt the emptiness even more than I have felt it before for him, becasue now, I could really feel that emptiness.
When I heard the song "I Dont Want to Say Good-bye"...I thought, "thats it, I DONT want to say good-bye".....
When I watched the second tent scene, and the reunion scene, I thought of the closeness, the intimacy, that Jake and Heath must have felt doing those scenes.....I know they were only acting, but, their lips still touched, their arms still wrapped around each others bodies, they had to feel something special there.
When I heard the song at the end "He Was a Friend of Mine"....so poignant....so true.
When I read all the posts here, I feel like I did when I first joined the board, and read what people were feeling after they watched the movie....THEN it was "hey, thats how I felt, hey, thats what I was feeling"....and NOW its, "yes, I am feeling that too, I am saying that too".....
There seems no reason nor explanation as to why this has happened to Heath....he wasn't old, he wasn't sick, its like, it was a mistake, a terrible terrible mistake.....

Very well said Katie. That,s exactly what I think, that Heaths, untimely death was simply a terrible accident. One that has left his family and close friends, devastated. As for us, I think it,s fair to say we are all shellshocked. That,s how I feel anyway, shellshocked. I also can,t get that last song they play at the end of BBM, when Ennis shuts the wardrobe door in the trailer, out of my mind. It seems crazy to mourn the death of someone I didn,t even know, except on the telly, but I can,t help it. I just feel so sad. Poor little Matilda will have to grow up without her daddy. Michelle will have to find the strenght to go on without him somehow, and as for Jake, he must be in bits. Has anyone heard anything from him yet? Being in the UK I don,t have access to your news stations.
God bless brown eyes. xxxxxx
