I have more of an understanding that Jake held Heath very close to his heart. I dont feel he owes us or me or anyone an explanation. Jake is going through much to much of an emotional grieving process. I believe he went through and continues to go through a lot of hurt at the lose of such a close friend. No explanations needed. I just didnt see Jake as such and emotional person like any one of us who has lost a loved one. I saw him as a Hollywood star. We dont broadcast our feelings to teh world. Why should Jake? If I could change my answer to he owes us nothing that is what i would do.

Wow ! you have just summed up exactly how I have been feeling of late. Time has changed my opinion too. Why do we forget that these people we adore, are actually humans as well as film stars. I do anyway, and it serves me well to be given a reminder some times.

For months I expected/waited for Jake to say something, now I know it was more to do with myself, if Jake had said something it would have been of comfort to me. I no longer expect anything, respect his silence, we all cope with grief in different ways.

Exactly it would be to comfort me and soothe my pain and hurt. Heath is so very missed. Now that some time has passed, I have dealt with some of my mourning. Of course with the awards Heath is sure to continue to get for his portrayal as the joker I feel more sadness for the loss of such a talented actor and star among stars. Heath will always be one of "our boys" from up on Brokeback.
