It has just sunk in that he has really gone - it is hard to believe
Like in the story when Jack passes - it was hard to understand it - that he was really gone...
-
I know. Me too.

Its the realization that hits you at different times, isn't it?
I have just been to the supermarket, and walking through the car park, out of all the number plates I focused on was the one with the letters HEAI passed 50 cars and only focussed on that one number plate.......and as I looked at it, I thought...."he's gone".

This question is like a punch in my stomach.

Obviously, Heath won't be appearing again anywhere except on the big screen. It will be strange to see him in The Dark Knight knowing this is all in the past...No promo appearances, no late night show appearances, etc. I wasn't even planning on seeing the film. But I feel I must.
I remember being greatly relieved to see Jake Gyllenhaal on late night tv (maybe Jay Leno) after seeing Brokeback Mountain. It's liked JACK TWIST LIVES again. Well, it did let you know it was just a movie.

It is isn,t it? I still can,t beleive it, don,t think I will for a long long time yet. 4 weeks already, gone, just like that. :'( :'( :'( :'(

He may be gone physically. yes, but he will continue to live in our hearts. His movies , audios and photographs will be the living evidence to fill our longing hearts.
Heath had his share in this world and he left an immeasurable treasure of love in each one of us.
Brokeback Mountain is more than enough.

I agree with all of you. It is hard to believe that Heath is really gone. I am still very sad about Heath's passing. It was difficult watching the Oscars knowing that Heath wouldn't be there. :'(
But he will live in our hearts and in Brokeback Mountain. The hope of ever seeing him in person is forever gone. :'(

I have taken a lot of comfort and even pleasure in seeing movies of Heath that I might not have watched had he not died so suddenly last month - at least not soon!
For anyone who feels they need a 'dose of Heath' I invite you to join our weekly 'Heath Ledger DVD Film Festival' and explore the films Heath made in his brief 28 years here with us. I didn't think I would want to see some of these but have been very pleasantly surprised, and have enjoyed every minute of seeing Heath fresh on the screen in some of his earliest, most raw film roles, looking for glimpses of the great performance he made as Ennis.
Check it out!

I agree,I see a truck and it hits again.or someone in a cowboy hat,silly I know.It realy is like a soccer punch to the guts.All this for someone I did not know personally,but who impacted my life in such an all pervasive way via BBM.
My comfort is that someone who I did not know and who obviously did not know me,has through BBM made me examine some places in my head,which I should have done many years ago.
I am not a big religious person,but I truly hope somewhere,he knows how much good he has done,and is really at peace.
