Thankyou, Luke Skyfreeper, for being far more charitable to this insensitive... um, well, let's just call him a so-and-so, than I might have been had I not tried to ignore everything the "personage" said.

I so don't need people telling me that what he did was a sin. What he did, was something he'd been leading up to, for years. It hurts me, it hurts others, but right now all I can think of is to hope that Chris himself feels no pain anymore.

I just wanted to take a moment to say how sorry I am for your loss. I will miss TILH's comments on this board, he had a fine mind and a wry sense of humor. In the days to come I hope you find comfort in memories of happier times, and that you find happiness again in your life.

Whatever you do, don't blame yourself for what has happened. Depression is a self-perpetuating and terribly isolating disorder, and in its most severe forms it is quite fatal. Believe me, I know.
