I don't know about this one.. It may be strange that he did not go to Perth, but it's his right, no? We don't know his reasons and it is upsetting not to know how he is doing and whether he is coping, but I think that I'd be ok if he didn't appear on any channel anywhere for another while. It must be an extra pressure for him, in this difficult time, to know that everyone will want to know something about him. Ask him about how he feels. Any questions at this point I think will be of no use whatsoever. I think it was very brave of Heath's parents, Ang Lee and Michelle Williams to give a statement so quickly and I'm sure it took off the pressure of having everyone expecting of them to 'share' their grief with us and the media. That pressure is still with Jake and I don't want to add to it. I think he has every right to take all the time in the world before giving any statement or answering any questions. I can see it now already, how people will not stop asking.. I am hoping so much, that Jake is coping.. somehow.. I think he must be very vulnerable at this point, with his heart bursting with pain. I can't imagine him forcing himself to hold it all together in front of a camera..
All the time he needs!
[I never went to my grandmother's funeral (the only one of my grandparents I ever knew) - I was informed too late.. First I was very angry but now, with time, I believe that this means I never had to say goodbye to her and that she's still there, next to me.. somewhere.. If that makes sense.. Maybe Jake doesn't want to say goodbye, just yet..]
