By all means don't then.
Penthesilea:
Please stop bickering with each other, take a step back, perhaps literally: leave your computer for an hour, do something different, then come back and think again about the issue raised here.
Let me try to do a short summary:
It was suggested to try to reach out to Jake, maybe write a condolence card or something silimar, since he seems to take it very hard.
Please think whether you find this thought so much beside the point or in any way disrespectful to Heath.
It's not.
Maybe the words chosen were not the most sensitive, same goes for the one or other response - and suddenly you have people jumping at each other's throats.
Please cut each other some slack. We're all weary, sad and maybe more sensible than in other times.
Try not to dwell on single expressions, we all have times when we choose insensitive words, but don't mean it. Think about the question originally posted and answer to it.
Thank you!

I really don't want to get into this again.
I am concerned about Jake's condition as well, I had posted in the "Jake" thread that Jake's silence made me believe there is a true and deep friendship between Heath and Jake. However, to word it that Jake's condition is worse than Heath's death is very incosiderate to so many of us who are still mourning and shattered by Heath's death. Before I went to bed last night, I had thought about requesting the OP to change the wording.
To reiterate my point, I totally agree with the OP that if there's something that can be done to comfort Jake, it should be done. What I find offensive is just that sentence that managed to cut deeper into our sorrow for Heath's death.
