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

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! :'(

I am still like that now, particularly when some mention of him catches me unaware. I posted once that I fell so ashamed of some things I have thought about other celebs. passing. I used to scoff and be so sarcastic.Even when Lady Di. passed I just thought, get a grip, none of you knew her, what is it with this mass hysteria. Yet 6/12 down the line and this lifelong cynic is still having major problems getting my brain to process the information.I am nearly 50 and Bettermost is the 1st online site I have ever posted on.I truly thought I must be having some sort of breakdown initially.
I think now that we have just lost someone very special, and sometimes that is just too hard to bear,So my brain shields me from it.When I am mentally ready to accept it, then my brain will start to filter through small doses of Jan. and the events.Until then I carry on as if he is still here.

After reading your post, I did a Google search, asking the question: Are all overdose deaths painful?
Here's what came up at Answerbag.com:
If the overdose is of a substance which is a sleeping pill or pain killer, one drifts off and loses consciousness as the first stage of the process. When one is unconscious, there is no sensation of pain.
As far as pain, keep in mind there is pain involved for those who are left behind, always.
I like to think that Heath just drifted off to sleep very peacefully.

I am pretty sure one of the "expert" doctors whose opinion was quoted, said he would fallen into a deep sleep, thenbecome unconcious and then,well we know what happened then.
I have never thought he was in pain, in fact I wish he had been as that would have alerted the housekeeper that soemething was wrong, and maybe he could have been saved.
In the end it was not to be, and although I cannot stand thinking about it, I can definitely think of worse ways to go. That in some respects helps me cope with it all.
Most people if asked how they would like to go, invariably answer that they would just like to slip quietly away in their sleep.
Gabreya:
I don't think you feel pain when you die anyway. I'm glad he went peacefully instead of horribly like we hear around the world today of people getting killed by weapons and other destructive items. :'( Well, at least it's a comforting fact that he's free from pain.
Even though I should't have done it but I keep thinking on what kind of things that he was thinking of in his final moments like the people he loved like Matilda, Michelle, Jake, his family, his friends, and other people he grew so close to. :'(
