Jake
opinionista:
Instead of expecting Jake to come forward and say something why don't we send him a note? He probably needs to hear comforting words more than we do.
Here are address where according to his website, we can write to him.

I'm not saying this in any way lessens how jake is feeling, but we all know that the time they spent together must have effected the strength of their relationship, and since they hadn't been workign together recently - were they still as close?

They weren't spotted together since I don't know how long. In fact, it's probably safe to say they were never spotted together outside of formal movie things they had to do. So it's really difficult to say if they were still friends or if they just did a really good job of meeting up somewhere that didn't have paparazzi. Thank God the paparazzi aren't everywhere, but that also means we never really know.

I have a couple of very close female friends whom I haven't seen in years. Yet a part of me would die if they were to meet an untimely death. We email each other regularly and talk on the phone occasionally. Lynne, you know one of those friends - Jacki.
Similarly, I would be devastated if any of the Brokies I met in San Francisco were to leave this Earth, and I only ever saw them for a period of three days. I would be quite distraught if any of the rest of you I haven't even met were seriously hurt or worse.
One can share a profoundly deep bond with someone that never goes away, even if the person does.
My goodness - look at how devastated we all are here, and most of us have never even seen Heath in person, let alone spoken with him.
LJ and others, I think you have some unrealistic expectations of Jake, and of Michelle or anyone else you might think should have made a statement by now. I'm sure both of them have spoken to each other by phone and to Heath's family. Making a statement is something they'd do because they feel like they owe it to the public, not to Heath. And they just plain don't. Not to mention that they're both probably a mess right now.
Consider this - if one of the friends you loved most in the world died suddenly and tragically, would you be ready to face a slew of cameras and share with the world how you feel about it? If you would, I guess you're a better person than Jake or Michelle is.

Jake is young. He probably hasn't had anyone close to him die yet. Plus guys react to death differently than girls.
Those of us who are older have already had older relatives maybe even parents pass away. Some of us even have lost friends. But most young peole in their 20s have not.
This is most likely a new, albeit unpleasant experience for him. Thus alot of the protection.

You're right David. In fact I was thinking the same thing. I think the fact that Heath was about Jake's age might have worsened the blow. Young people aren't used to death. The general idea is that it is something that happens to old people or to people much older than you.
When I was fifteen one of my schoolmates died in an accident. We were saddened by his loss but mostly we were shocked to realize that people our age could die. Even though I aware that death was a reality it was not easy for me to fathom that could happen to someone who was about my age. It was completely unexpected, and a lot of us didn't know how to deal with it. I had a lot of nightmares over that. Even people who didn't know him very well were very much affected by what happened.

I don't get your point. Before I was 20 I had lost many people, counting both my grandpas and grandmas. Before I was 20 I had been to more funerals than weddings. I think I'm not the only one. I don't think losing somebody period is something new for Jake. Losing somebody that young and somebody that close to him, yes, that must be new for him.
