What am I supposed to do when I know it's going to tear me up?
BBM-Cat:
Thank you! What a painful journey you have been through - very sorry to hear of your struggles and thanks for sharing so openly. It is extremely difficult when there is a lack of closure when someone dies and there is important, 'unfinished business' as you allude to. Again, I'm glad you have been able to turn your grief outward to be a compassionate soul for those who need comforting. Seems many people have had a similar awakening after experiencing BBM. Just think, your journey of growth over the past 20 years is akin to Jack and Ennis' 20 year journey together....wishing you a peaceful resolution.

Well Mr Patrick my heart goes out to you!
I am in a similar position that you were. I see you haven't poted on this thread in awile so I hope you are doing ok. The depression I deal with normally has been compounded by the plethera of feelins this movie has caused to re-surface. The total dissatisfaction with my life is also coming to a head and I think I am having a mid-life crisis upon turning40. I really want to read the book but I'm afraid that I will sink further into dispair.
The good news, I have found this board and eveyone here has benn so kind and supotive. I would be a complete basket case were i not to have found this place.
Thanks everyone!

Oh yeah. I bought a copy of the book after my second movie viewing. I read the book twice. I was a basket case after the second reading. That led to a few days of moping around the house crying. Staring out the window and crying. I finally tossed the book into the garbage can so I wouldn't be able to read it again.
It took a while to snap out of it. The part that helped best was finding other people in the same situation. First at IMDB, then here at BetterMost.
Many of us stayed up late at nights typing out questions about the movie. Once we picked apart every little subtle meaning, we were spent. Even though I own a copy of the movie on DVD I don't watch it. It is still too painful.
