very sad news - please pass to any who might be concerned

[relativity]

I am a huge ball of twenty different emotions at once, most of them complicated, messy, and sad. But I'm going to try like hell to keep this post just to the important update info side of things, and save the rambling for later when there isn't terrible news that I need to share.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry to hear about that. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of her friends and family.

I'm sorry that people had to find out like this -- there's no real "breaking it gently" option when news just appears on your flist. And thank you, and I will be sure to pass that along to everyone. Also, hi, and I know we haven't talked for ages, and I'm sorry, things have been crazy (case in point). I hope everything's okay with you.

[sohmamon]

Yeah, but it's better to find out than never know at all, right? It's okay, things have been a bit crazy for me, too. Things are going okay for me, though. I hope that things look up for you--this must be hard for you.

(Sorry, the journal the original comment was with was an RP journal.)

It is, but I'm getting lots of support from people, so I'm okay. I hope you're doing well. I just wish I could break it to people gently, instead of doing a mass LJ update and going "Hey, so, FYI." Augh.

Wh- oh, god.

I'm sorry. Thank you for giving us the news, at least.

Fuck, the world sucks sometimes.

I'm sorry, too. I know that you two were close, and I'm sorry that you had to find out on your flist, which seems like such a terrible way of telling people, but sometimes it can't be helped.

It really, really fucking does.

*offers the crappy internet kind of hug*

I'm never going to forget the effort she went through for Monster, and
I would definitely like to be kept in the loop wrt arrangements.

Absolutely, on all counts, and thank you for the hugs. Internet hugs may be a poor substitute for the physical variety, but they've done wonders for keeping me together today.

I was supposed to have info by now, but I don't, yet. I will absolutely pass it along once I know.

In re: the loop, and keeping you in it: there's a further post on arrangements here. Locked, so if someone needs access, please let me know.

[mpoetess]

Thank you - I will.

[septembergrrl]

I am still so, so, so sorry.

*HUGS*

Thank you, hon. For the sympathy, and for the hugs, which I am stealing a lot of lately. ♥

[butterflykiki]

*huge hugs* I'm so, so sorry to hear this. I liked her lots, and hadn't talked to her in a while. This just sucks a lot. Please give my condolences to her family too.

She's going to be missed.

[relativity]

Thank you, for the thoughts and the hugs. I will absolutely let her family know. I just updated about arrangements, but I don't know if I have your journal friended -- let me know if I need to add it? Sorry if this sounds scattershot, I'm a bit all over the place today.
