Remember Michelle's Pain

[HerrKaiser]

One has to realize that when they give something up, it could be forever. Michelle may feel very badly; we don't know. Regret is the worst pain. To break off an engagement with a baby involved must have taken much determination, so she did make a choice...a major one. I hope she finds comfort in Mathilde and whatever she had expected to. My greatest sympathies are to his immediate family; they never let him go, have 28 years of history to mourn over, and cannot replace a son or brother.

Reading again about how Heath went to the hospital with Michelle when she hurt her knee on the toboggan, and that that was the beginning of their love, I remember that it was Pierre Tremblay who suggested the toboggan sequence for the film.  Our Pierre brought them together.

I was just thinking earlier today that I wanted to go back and read that interview. Thanks for reminding me about that.

You know, I realised yesterday what hurts so much about this all.

I watched pictures and videos of two years ago. The Brokeback Glory Days. Nomination after nomination. Award after award. Heath and Michelle looking so much in love. Heath telling everybody how much he adores both his girls. Happiness all around.

BAM! Two years later and everything is gone. Heath and Michelle have broken up. Heath is dead. Matilda is fatherless. The world grieves.

It just makes me feel such intense sadness to think about this.

Poor Michelle.... This must be so hard for her, I can't imagine her grief, not in a million years.

Yes! I read that interview too. Heath actually fell on top of her coming of the hill and he ended up going to the hospital with her in Canmore. And to think I nearly ended up in the same hospital with my knee, after I got kicked by that horse...

Heath said in the interview that he felt responsible and he wanted to look after her...*sigh*

I so agree with you and hope I never have to go through that kind of pain - since little Matilda looks so much
like her daddy, it is (or will be) a constant reminder of Heath, so sad......................

Oh God, Judy, yes, she's the spitting image of her daddy, that must be comforting and confronting at the same time.

So sad. I really thought they'd make it -- at least longer than they did. I guess you never know who can and can't live together. But I still think they loved each other -- if nothing else -- for being parent to Matilda. I hope the last time Michelle talked to him is a good memory for her just for her sake -- it's easier to take that way.

How dare you presume to know what either of them felt?  Does their break up upset your sense of family values?

That is the height of arrogance.
