Oh, Connie. I'm weeping for you. We're here for you, anything we can do for you, we will.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Compassionately intolerant
I've been reading The Viking's fb page and am touched by the lovely stories of the young men he influenced through SCA and elsewise. He is so sincerely and deeply honored in their words, you get a sense of how much of an effect a noble, caring and passionate human can have on humanity.
What a wonderful legacy.

Connie, I'm so sorry

I've barely eaten in over 24 hours, but it's hard to make myself eat. I keep wanting to throw up, and I know I have to force myself to eat.
I think I'm going to go see Captain America again. I wish a fannish person were nearby that I could take with me. I've got people who would go with me, but I need a slightly more removed grief at the moment. I need a rent-a-geek.
I think I understand where agoraphobia comes from. My foundation is missing, and I'm afraid to step off the porch. I keep telling myself that these first few days are going to be the worst, that I am strong, I can live mostly on my own. But here in the middle of it, it's hard to breathe.
Would it be better with kids? I'd have people around me, but I'd be suffering their grief, too. We're having his wake in a couple of weeks.
Oh, how it sneaks up on you. To my sisters in this strange and horrible tribe, I'm sorry for making wounds new. But seeing that you've made it farther on this road is a comfort to me.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm sorry Connie. I wish one of us were closer to go to the movies with you.

Thrive to spite them
Connie I'm so sorry. I just want to echo what everyone else has said.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm sorry, Connie. A movie sounds like a good idea. And if eating's difficult, perhaps a smoothie or a milkshake would go down a little easier? There'd be calories and a bit of nutrition, and it might be easier on your stomach than a sandwich.

Our wings are not tired.
I so wish that I were closer so that I could be with you. the tributes on Hubby's FB page are so very moving. He clearly touched so many lives.
Whatever you need, when you figure out what that might be, know so many are here for you.

I'm 20 years down that road, Connie. You will make it.
(I just realized, it's 20 years this year. I still dream of her every now and then. I always said I was okay, and it finally became true.)
