Heath Ledger - the grieving thread
Ellemeno:
nic, you've got a baby growing in you! That's the best news I've heard all day. :) And I agree, Heath was a beautiful parent. I love how comfortable he was with Matilda. I also LOVE those photos of the two of them. Big happy (gentle) hug to you, nic! :-*

Richard A. Rawson, a UCLA professor of psychiatry and associate director of its Integrated Substance Abuse Programs quoted as saying about Heath's death, “In this case, someone had legitimate prescriptions and simply made an error in dosing himself, a tragic error." This appeared in today's LA Times.
See my post about it in the Heath Ledger - News Accounts thread:

If we'd never loved them, we wouldn't cry and feel terribly down. But our lives would have been all the poorer for that, not having been affected by them and loving them, so... like Ennis, I believe as days go by we'll come to see we'd rather have felt - and feel - the love *and* the grief of loss it brought, then never having loved at all. We'll be able to look back on all the positive aspects, the joys, the inspiration, the companionship, the emotional lessons learned - and that will more than balance out the loss and sadness.

I know. BBM has added so much to my life, in so many ways. I just can't believe how difficult it has been to reconcile my feelings for the movie with my life, and now to reconcile my grief with my life. I mean, I've said before, that sometimes I feel so guilty for feeling so bad-I never knew him personally after all. But then I remember watching the interviews, watching his dedication to his art and I remember that I do know him. And I hope that his family take comfort in the grief we all feel, knowing that their son is leaving such a wonderful legacy.
Daniel Day-Lewis summed it up. I think I too would have liked him very much.

Exactly. Same here, he just seemed like somebody you could easily get along with and have great conversations with.

This is nice, 8 minutes of pics of a young Heath - well, before he got really famous...
