Is it just me, or is Heath's absence still hitting others hard?

Can you fucking believe it? :( I had a long phone conversation with a fellow Heathen and Brokie this afternoon, which was a wonderful treat, but somehow I now feel more sadness. While talking, I realized that in my head I have a fantasy that the 2013 BBM opera is going to star Heath and Jake. In my rational mind I know that's not true, but when I imagine us there sitting and watching it (and I will), I imagine them as Ennis and Jack, not some opera singers. So I feel sadder and bereft-er tonight than I have in a while.

As it gets ever closer to the release of TDK, I feel more and more bereft. I wish so much that just one of his last films was more lighthearted. I just hate the fact that al we now have left to see of him, shows every indication of being pretty dark.
I would have so loved to see something with his heart melting smile.

It has been six months since he departed this earth.
Here's what I wrote on that morning in the Full Moon thread.

Now that we have seen his talent again in TDK, our despair is renewed, but there is a new little Heath walking this earth, actually not walking yet, just walking through his mother who carries him for another three months still!!

I watched "10 Things I Hate About You" the other night. Hadn't seen it in a long, long time. I couldn't bring myself to watch it, or "The Patriot," or "Casanova," or any of the other movies they all trotted out shortly after his death. I guess having seen TDK twice and lived through it both times, I figured I could handle it. And I could. Didn't shed a tear through the whole thing. I just enjoyed him and his effortless charm.
Now I'm kind of going through this renewal of the Denial stage. Through film, he's still very much alive. And since I never had the privilege to meet him, let alone know him, he's as real and here and now to me as he ever was. I know it's probably "wrong" and "not healthy," but I prefer to think of him as being immortal in this way.
Like the line in "Powder" goes, he didn't go somewhere when he died. He went everywhere.

That's a cool statement, Barb. What's "Powder?"
Gabreya:
Gee, and I thought I was the only one.
Guys, okay first let me say that I'm still in shambles over his passing. See, I'm not really over his death and it's been difficult that I find it LITTERALLY hard for me to breathe. I'm not kidding. Sometimes, I think about what was it like for him in his final moments and what he must've thought in his mind before he went. And it makes me sick to my stomach. I really feel depressed half time about him and hardly even know the guy, as in REALLY know him. God, I wish he didn't go so soon. He had a lot to live for! :'(
