So, I understand that there have been several deaths this past week that have affected many- David Bowie, Allan Rickman, René Angélil, and I understand that many people feel the need to grieve for these brilliant people who brought so much joy to many. Currently however, I am not grieving for them as I am dealing with a death that is much closer to home, and I likely won't be in contact with many people for awhile. One of my closest friends of four years shot himself the night before yesterday during a suicide attempt. He was pronounced brain dead this morning to his family, myself, and a few other close friends who have all been in-and-out-and-in-again of the hospital the last 24 hours in order to spend the last few precious hours we got with him and his loved ones; it has been a rollercoaster of emotions for all involved. Like me, Jeremy suffered from Depression- but he seemed to be alright for so long. I'm still in shock that this has happened and am still trying to figure out *why* this happened to him. We truly have lost one of the greatest, kindest people today before he had a chance to show the world what he was really capable of. I know that I am behind on responding to messages and rp's, but I would ask y'all to please be understanding in that I just cannot do any serious writing or art at this time because of how deeply this loss has affected me emotionally. Jeremy was like a younger brother to me and this is really hard to deal with facing the facts that I won't be able to greet his dopey grin anymore. If anyone knows of the Dooley family I would ask that you please be supportive of them as this is a blow that has deeply affected them and everyone who was close to Jeremy.
