I'm so very sorry for your loss.

This is one of the most loving things I've read of yours, and I think I get from it how you feel on so many levels.

I'm thinking of ya, and you can always talk to me about it or anything.

Again, I'm sorry....

yeah, i get quite upset when my favorite teevee character dies, echoing harbingers of finality to the show i have grown to know and love.

It's a TV CHARACTER? *gasps* Oh, my...I thought it was someone close to you...I don't currently own a tv so I'm not up to date on these things. haha

well, with people "close to me," i tend to keep them at a distance, establishing proper barriers between myself and them, to limit getting hurt or just caring in general. it's easier that way.

but with teevee characters and others from fiction, they arrive to me when i have absolutely no barriers, and in my vulnerability i exhibit actual empathy, so obviously i get deeply upset when something happens to them.
